Hall of Fame Nominee Negreanu Says Sexton Should Get Votes

After Doyle Brunson voiced his opinions about the Poker Hall of Fame nominees the other day, Daniel Negreanu decided to write a little ditty about it himself. Considering Negreanu is one of the nominees, it is interesting to note that he agrees with Brunson and feels Sexton deserves the most votes.

I don\’t get a vote, but if I did it wouldn\’t be a tough decision for me at all. For the same reasons that Doyle believes Mike Sexton should be the #1 guy, I agree 150%. He\’s played \”high enough\” is well respected \”enough\” for his play, and has been around along time. He simply has no equal, however, when it comes to contributing to the growth of poker.

As for his own nomination, Negreanu feels that it\’s not his time. Though he\’s pretty confident he\’ll get in to the Hall of Fame eventually, he doesn\’t feel he should get the votes in 2009.

As for me, I was flattered to be nominated, but don\’t feel at all like I should be voted in. I don\’t feel like I have a lot to prove exactly, and I do think I\’ll get voted in eventually, just not now. Mike Sexton needs to go in now. There are also a few other older guys who should go in ahead of me. I always kind of figured, back when we used to hang out a lot, that me, Ivey, Juanda, and Cunningham would all go in together, but I don\’t see that happening.
