Hes not the greatest NLH player ever. He's the greatest Gin player ever in that he was unbeatable. In terms of NLH he was probably the greatest tourney player ever. In cash games there were better that's TJs opinion and most of the dealers that knew him

exactly. He was the greatest NLH tourney player ever, without a doubt. But he was still one of the best NLH cash players ever too.So if he's the best NLH tourney player and one of the top few NLH cash game players, then he is the best NLH PLAYER ever.

Surely theres no such game as "no limit" holdem "cash game". Surely this implies that you can move all in with all the money you have?? I thought cash games are always played with limits ($20/40...$1500/3000)etc. Please correct me if im wrong?

The differences between NL tournament play and NL cash play. In a tournament, a player most frequently has from five to 40 times the amount of the big blind. In a cash game, you will most frequently has 40 to 100 times the big blind. These differences do have a great impact on strategy. Its still table stakes, but you can probably rebuy if you want.A cash game is just a ring game... 9 people will sit down at a table with an amount each in chips, and if theyre playing NL they can put all there chips in the pot at once.In a tourney you can use a slightly bit of a different strategy. Say that a pot comes up between you and a short stack person. He goes all in on the flop with probable top pair or maybe two pair, and all you have is a flush draw. In a cash game you would probably fold unless you are getting good pot odds, but in a tourney you might gamble and call as if you make that flush then you'll be in chip leader position and have a greater position to win the game.

Wow, Stu IS the greatest player. I have read as much as I can about him, and I was looking forward to this movie until stephanie said that it was untrue. Btw, how does everyone know what she looks like? Anyways, you guys should really stop bashing him for his drug problem. I know many people that do drugs, and yes...I do. If you want to call me a junkie for that then F*** You. Just because he did drugs, does not make him a bad person. I think that the fact that he had a drug problem and a gambling problem makes his life that more interesting. I started playing poker at 8 years old playing draw poker. I have only ever seen poker pages about him, and I have never seen anything about him playing gin rummy. But if he is a better gin rummy player than poker, then He must be amazing. I did not know until today, however that he only played the WSOP 3 times! I also heard that he played the Superbowl of poker and won 3 times there aswell. How many times did he play that? Anyways, the only other question about him that I have on him is I was always curious how he treated his family and why he and his ex wife broke up. I am really anticipating the biography coming out of him. Soon, there will be a report for school that I will have to do. I knew the day I found out about the project that I am going to do it on Stu Ungar. I really am interested in learning more about him. He is the greatest player ever!

It's hard work. Gambling. Playing poker. Don't let anyone tell you different. Think about what it's like sitting at a poker table with people whose only goal is to cut your throat, take your money, and leave you out back talking to yourself about what went wrong inside.
