Jason kirkus
He's pretty much the only option
Not true...Richie Richerson played somebody every night for good money...and so did Chris Gentile.
The action award winner should be at DCC for it's duration.

I was sweating some of Richie's action. Gentile played alot, but the money he won from Kirkus money made that much easier. I can understand your statement about them being there the whole time, but I like the idea of Kirkus having incentive to stay through the event.
I may be biased since he didn't get it the first year he was there. I would almost guarantee he's the biggest loser in the history of the tournament. Two years ago he lost $70K and this year $50K. The first weekend he was the only reason for almost half the sets played whether he staked, played, or put in to bring up the money.
Why should it be important if he has lost a lot, even most in history? I would rather give the award to people winning, if not it becomes an award you can simply buy. Just lose enough and you'll get it
Richie Richerson so far, he and Scott have been in and alley fight everyday I was there so far.
The award turned into a joke the past few years.

I agree with this. It is the Louis Roberts Award and keep in mind, Louis Roberts was NOT only a bigtime gambler, he was a world class pool player. He won alot of the time and was GIVING UP the weight most of the time he played.
The person who wins this thing is going to be joining people like SVB, Alex, Tony Watson, Frost, these guys are players. Ya Scooter got there by playing heaps and getting huge spots in gaff games, but most of the people who have won the Louis Roberts Award are pro level pool players who gamabled alot, they are the people that would be a peer of Louis Roberts and IMO that is the people that should win this award.
If I win the lotto can I just come out and put out a bunch of bets like a goof in weird gaff games shooting behind the back with a rest while standing on one foot, lose 100k and be a shoe in to win the award and get my face and name on the DCC website? Do we really want the award to devolve to that?
Scooter is actually a pretty good example FOR this award. It's "action and entertainment"...... He is always in action, and entertaining. He stirs the pot, wherever he is. Is there anyone there who is entertaining?
