Hello!👋🤗
How nice it was to read about my beloved Barbara Enright and I won't get tired of saying how much I love her. She's amazing.
It was also nice to see a great photo with Lupe Soto, who does so much for the development of women's poker.💞

In my opinion, all nominees are more or less worthy of membership in the Hall of Fame. I won't even be able to single out one person.

As I looked at the earnings list, Vanessa Selbst is leading the way (she won more than twice as much money as Kristen Bicknell), and she also has 3 wsop bracelets (Kristen Bicknell also has three).
Based on the prizes, Vanessa may have the best chance, but in such polls, emotional decisions are usually made.
I'll be curious who will be the chosen one.

Looks like a great group, but I think I would go with Selbst.

Not to get to practical but, how is choosing for the HOF someone who chose to move on from poker at a relatively young age?

I think Vanessa Selbst will win.
Considered one of the most successful poker players in the world, the American has accumulated US $ 11 million in prizes throughout her career and was the only woman to occupy the first position in the Global Index

All of the nominees deserve an induction but Vanessa Selbst has to be the No.1 choice, even if she stepped away from Poker now. She was a force when she played and one of the best players in the world.

Please tell me Barbara Enright is either already inducted or is shortlisted..! 😄

Barbara would get my vote hands down.

After that probably our Debi! ❤️

Sorry, didn't realize I failed to complete my question. I understand the desire to recognize folks for their achievements, but if the goal is to promote & encourage participation by more women in poker, how does choosing a women who no longer has any connection, or any interest in promoting the involvement of women in the game helpful? I remain utterly baffled.

Choose them all!! Since I know that will not happen, then I will say that my vote will go to Vanessa Selbst!! The others will have another chance.

I would probably choose Vanessa Selbst because she's brilliant in so many ways, just listening to her discuss hands she's watching is educational, doesn't matter if she currently plays she's one of the best!
