Mike Sexton is a legend in the poker world.
In a life spanning over four decades as a poker professional, Mike has excelled both on the felt and on the business side of poker. He is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, helped create PartyPoker in 2001, and was a key player in an event that changed the poker world forever - the launch of the World Poker Tour (WPT) in 2002. He has been a commentator on the WPT, along with Vince Van Patten, since its inception.
In addition, Mike was recognized as poker's Top Ambassador at the Card Player Magazine Player of the Year Awards gala in 2006.

Poker and high stakes gambling stories, love it!
Mike's book is a must for anyone who loves hearing about poker and high stakes gambling in the earlier years. Mike's knowledge and first hand experience is unbelievable. Learn just how involved Mike has been with the growth of poker, as he helped many concepts rise, and witnessed the rise (and fall) of many of poker's greatest players. Mike does repeat himself in some parts which was probably more noticeable to me because once I started listening, I couldn't stop! A great read/listen.

My first audible book
I purchased this book the other day and an hour later went on Instagram and seen Phill Hellmuth post that this wonderful man had passed away. I had no idea he was even sick so I was determined to get through this book and learn more of this mans legacy. WOW!
A must have for any true fan of poker, hearing all the degenerate gambling stories and what it was like back in the day was a real eye opener. Mike sexton did so much for poker and Ioved hearing all his crazy stories. BUY THIS BOOK
