Mike Sexton has passed
He did a tremendous amount to help poker become mainstream. He had over $7 million in winnings at the table himself. May he RIP.

wow.. i thought prostate cancer was very treatable since 90% of men will have it (according to my doc, who does a prostate exam as part of my annual checkup).

Only if it's caught early enough. Some guys refuse "the finger".
Quote: zippyboyAnd Mike Sexton was a real snappy dresser. Always Mr. GQ.
I don't know about that. I would see him around wearing nylon jogging suits. When I first me him he was wearing nothing but a bathing suit.

No exciting story here. I met him on a cruise ship and we talked many times. We had a lot in common because he went to Ohio State and I am from Ohio. We probably talked or emailed about once a year.

I don't know that I can do Mr. Sexton justice, but I'll certainly try for you.

I did my best for you:

I don't really follow poker as much more than a casual fan and rarely play. I do watch some of the poker Youtube channels sometimes. Anyway, I wanted to give a brief biography and mostly let Sexton pay homage to himself, in his own words. I gathered links to various interviews all in one place and pulled some notable things that he said from most of them.
Of course, I only quoted a small percentage from each of those sites and included links to give full credit. More than that, I recommend checking out the full interviews from each one of those sites; I certainly enjoyed them.
Quote: smoothgrhSad to hear. He made the WPT broadcasts enjoyable for me with his commentary.
Agreed. Where the hell have I been that I did not hear about this sooner? Learned a lot watching WPT years ago just listening to how he broke down hands and strategies.
