This category is getting a little stale, don’t you think? It’s just too straight forward. I’m thinking of replacing it with something like “if this pro was an animal, what animal would he be?” On second thought, let’s not.. Oh well, some ideas are better left unsaid. Seed leads 1-0.

4 WSOP bracelets, including the 1996 Main Event

If 7-card stud were as popular as NLH, Sexton might be ahead in this category. Then again, if I took a writing class I might be a better blogger, but that ain’t never gonna happen neither. Seed takes down another category.

Is it 7-card stud?

To be fair, Sexton really only started getting in on the NLH action a few years ago, so he’s a bit behind in the game. On the other hand, Seed is one of the most dangerous tourney players out there when he’s on his game. Don’t call it a beat down, Seed leads 3-0.

Is it 7-card stud?

OK, so you might’ve guessed by now that I don’t know much about Sexton beyond the fact that he’s an avid 7-card stud baller. And yes, I just said 7-card stud baller – sue me. I’m also pretty certain that he makes most of his poker profit playing the cash games, probably 7-card stud. Let’s be nice and give this category to him, the score is now 3-1 in favor of the Seeded One.

Do I even need to say it?

Well, by this point we should all know my feelings toward any poker game that isn’t No-Limit Hold ‘em. If you can’t push all your chips into the middle on hand one it ain’t poker, it’s just boring. Sorry 7-card stud, you lose again. Seed now leads 4-1.

When your real name is Huckleberry, do you really need a nickname?

I don’t believe Sexton has a nickname, so we’ll have to make one up. I know! How about Keith “7-card stud” Sexton? It’s original, right?

Maybe Seed’s nickname should be “Huckleberry Hound.” Then again, maybe not. There’s something not quite right about a blue dog with a Southern drawl, it’s kind of freaky. Super freaky (cue Rick James – thank you). At any rate, since neither of these players actually have a nickname, the winner is naturally Seed. He’s on cruise control as we head into the final frame.

Insane prop bet partaker.

Fathered Full Tilt Poker pro Paul Sexton.

As great as a contribution that Paul Sexton (and thus Keith) has made to the world of poker, this one has to go to Seed. He’s been involved in many a great prop bets in his time, including standing in the ocean up to his shoulders in water for eight hours (he bailed after three hours) and playing four rounds of golf in one day with only three clubs and having to break 100 each round. Simply put, the man is insane and will do anything to take your money.
