Love listening to @NickSchulman on poker weekly on @SIRIUSXM. Sirius got me for $11/mo for life as long as the show continues, iconic. But the people need all the episodes available to listen to on demand on the app, not just the past two! Help us out @SIRIUSXM

This is deeply touching. I’ve always admired Scott. When I first stepped up to the biggest tournaments, I watched him, with fanboy eyes, dismantle every table he sat at. He is one of the true hybrid online/live poker superstars. I’ll be there celebrating him next year when he’s inducted.
I want to start this off by saying how obviously deserving Jason is of the hall of fame, and am deeply touched by the words people have reached out to me last night, specifically Jason himself and Schulman and Negreanu, which has really helped temper my emotions so far. Having gotten to watch Jason's incredible career every step of the way has been an honor and witnessing what he's created and the amount of pure work and dedication to carving it out is something I hold in the highest esteem, and am certain there is no one else on earth that could have done what he has done and traveled the path he has, and he is the exact type of player and also person that exemplifies what the poker hall of fame should represent. Doyle once told me at the table, something I always held close to my heart because of how much him and I played together, maybe the most of literally anyone on the planet other than David Oppenheim in the last 20 years, he told me there are 8-10 voters that don't follow the current poker world anymore and ask him who to vote for the hall every year, and I should be praying for his good health such that when I'm 40 I can be the one who gets in. When a full 30% of the electorate has moved on from poker it makes the system they chose without clear personalized explanations and that every ballot had to be filled online and with lots of ambiguity in the instructions, made it nearly impossible for anyone mathematically to even be able to clear the 2/3 vote even if receiving near unanimous support from people that are up to date and knowledgeable. I think going forwards I would love to see all nominees get to write a couple paragraph blurb detailing their accomplishments and how it fits into the wider realm of the poker world in an attempt to get to make their own case to the panel of voters, and I think this will humanize the process far more than seeing 8 names and a yes or no checkbox with no further information. I'm glad that despite these changes I would want to see, that the hall absolutely succeeded in electing a generational talent and has succeeded in correctly finding someone as deserving as one can be.

Jason Koon is one of the players I have most enjoyed competing against. Prepared, fearless and focused at the table, yet humble and respectful away from it. Congratulations, @JasonKoon, on a well-deserved induction into the Poker Hall of Fame. 🙏

A great day for the game, honoring one of its best. @JasonKoon set the standard in poker and gave Triton its heart along the way. No one has done it with more class, and no one is more deserving of the Hall of Fame. Congratulations, my friend.
For nearly two decades, @JasonKoon has defined excellence on poker’s biggest stage. At just 40 years old, he is already one of the most accomplished high stakes tournament players in history. His résumé includes more than $14.8 million in WSOP earnings, two WSOP bracelets, and third place on poker’s all time money list. One of the most respected players of his generation joins poker’s immortals. Welcome to the Poker Hall of Fame, Jason. 👏🏽

Yesterday I joined the Poker Hall of Fame. A few of the guys on this year’s list are heroes of mine and deserve to be in as much as I do; I’m sure their day is coming soon. When I found poker, I was immediately and forever in it. It was my path to independence, my teacher in handling defeat and most importantly the vessel for introducing me to a large portion of the greatest relationships in my life. Poker is my life’s passion. I’ve truly given it everything I have. I love you guys, thank you.

Loved being on the radio with the man who has the voice for radio.
We got Koon on tonight, Mad Dog Sports Radio 8pm EST channel 82 on Sirius XM, if you miss it you can run it back in the app. Or if you are subscribed to too many things and can't pull the trigger I understand lol. We all look up to Jason on the felt, and for those of us lucky enough to know him, off the felt as well.

Hi Guys. I’ve stopped accepting money and will cover all transaction fees plus round up to get us to $26,000 raised. Today we sent out a total of $14,000. $6,000 to the South Buckhannon Mission Church Benevolence Fund. $4,000 to the Weston Senior Center and lastly, 4x $1,000 grants to low income families in the area who desperately need help. Thanks so much to those of you who helped. I love you and the beautiful state of WV! -JK
Update on this. Today we sent $12,000 to two orgs helping in Weston (Rotary and Hopes Point Church). So far 2 people have been confirmed dead and many others have lost everything without insurance. Thanks for your help ❤️

gofund.me/b692f0098 Hey guys, my hometown and neighboring college town (Weston and Buckhannon WV) were ravaged by massive flooding over the last few days. I've put together a @gofundme that I will personally manage to help some folks back there. It would mean a lot to me if you guys could pitch in. I'll be fully transparent where every penny goes. Thanks so much.
