I never seen the movie about Stu Ungar, but just recently read a few articles written about him in a poker magazine called card player which discussed his rise to a great poker player and his uncanny ability to play gin and read the cards. I do feel that many card players resepected him and also envied him. I'm sure he broke many egos. As far as I'm concerned I'm convinced by what was said about Stu Ungar and his titles that there will never be a better poker player than him. If you were to compare him to the players today I feel that there would be no comparison. He would dominate the field in "poker" but he loved action and bet on just about anything. When Stu Ungar died the world lost a true Poker and Gin Legend. Let us respect him for who he was and never ridicule him, becaue none of us here in this forum has walked in his shoes so therefore we have no right to pass judgement. I feel that we should all appreciate the fact that Stefanie has taken the time from her own life to write a book about her father and also has provided imput on this forum. I bet Stu would have walked all over all the players today if were with us now.
