Last weekend, I posed the following question on social media – Assuming he really is done w/ poker for good, do you think Doug Polk’s career is Poker Hall of Fame worthy? Online crusher, three WSOP bracelets, more than $9.4 million in live earnings, played high stakes, famed poker coach, and an A+ content creator.
In September 2018, Polk announced his “retirement” from professional poker, though he continued to play on occasion while releasing poker-related content. Polk, who was miffed after failing to receive a Global Poker Award nomination for his work in 2019, more recently shuttered his industry-leading YouTube channel, one that had 286,000 subscribers.
