Learning poker in the Moneymaker era I’d constantly see loud & obnoxious “pros” which didn’t appeal to me. Mike Sexton truly was a gentleman of the game who acted like he’d been there before regardless of result. A class act who showed me how you should act on the felt. RIP

Mike could play. He obviously became a hell of a commentator and overall positive figure for the game, but I’ll always remember him as a player who became a commentator.Jeff Proctor wrote
Ran into Mike at WPT Choctaw 2015, during one of the lowest points of my life. He was more than happy to join me for a selfie and was such a positive person. It mattered a lot to me that he did.
I remember one WSOP I drew Mike’s table and we both got there a few minutes early. I was amazed by his constant stream of well-wishers that stopped by before “cards in the air.”
Old friends, tournament officials, WPT fans… Everyone got that smile.
RIP to a legend of the game
