POKER INFO - PROILE - Stu Ungar

Like millions of others I am just discovering poker and enjoying reading about the great players that have been.Stuey Unger, for me, is by far the most enigmatic and mysterious of the greats. Stephanie, it would have been a great privilege to have shaken your fathers hand. I am sure that is very proud of you, you are a credit to each other.I am intrigued by what made Stuey such a brilliant player, I really don't think that there will ever be another player like him.I'm hoping to make it over to Vegas next year, could someone tell me where his grave is? I'd very much like to pay my respects to him.Best wishes to all-------krayten

I'am a HUGE fan and will be playing in my first WORLD SERIES in 2006 I'am not a rich person and the $10,000 buy-in is a BIG amount, but I have to see if I can sit with the BEST in the WORLD$$ It will be my first trip to VEGAS and I wanted to visit your dads grave and pay my respect to the CHAMP!! I would be honored if you would sign and send my a copy of his book!! I would be more then happy to pay you any expenses like shipping, book fee, etc.... I'am a 27 year old dealer from Detroit and have your dads pics and posters all over my room, I would love if I could have a chat with someone as close to stu as u If you are not Stu's daughter then you should get a life!!! Cause for a fan of Stu like me you really got me thinking I might be able to chat with the BEST EVER'S daughter!! And it would be a big let down if your a imposter p.s. I'am cute too, so you don't have to chat with some ugly weirdo LOL hope to hear from you soon James Hudgins

It is an infinite challenge indeed for a mind that aspires to mediocrity to attempt to conceptualize genius.

Ms. Ungar, you had less time with your father than would seem fair but you lived with a spirit the likes of which few ever experience.

So many here have tried to put into words what cannot be. Genius, legend, icon. None do justice.

Then there are those that attack the lifestyle of a man they have no right to judge. A man that gave us reason to believe in the limits, or lack thereof, of mankind.

When we visit the fair, we have a compulsion to seek out the greatest thrill ride on the grounds, the rollercoaster. We have a primal desire to touch the clouds at the top and tremble as the bottom rushes towards us. Stu Ungar did not need to pay the fare, his life soared higher and lower than any rollercoaster ever made.

His life, his gambling prowess, his abilities, his skills, his habits, these are not what should be remembered, respected and revered; his dominance of the rollercoaster is.

God Bless you and your mother Ms. Ungar.

hey stef, just finished one of a kind and just wanted to say that dalla and allson did a great job and stuey would be proud i think, of how it was done. one of the best reads of my life. one thing that was shown in that book that seemes evident about stu, was that in some ways, he was a very wise man. he was a scholar of life, he just ran short in the common sense department, as many with genuis iq's do. we'll dont want to bore you so once again, the book was phenomanal and cant wait for the authorized movie. always good to see your posts stef, and god bless

Stu good man, he and I used to catch dogs and cats together. Mmmm good eatin baby.

Hey stef, I was wondering , I'll explain later, did your dad chain smoke? or smoke at all for that matter? cigarettes that is

Hello everyone!! I am glad to hear everyone is enjoying the book. I just officially signed the contract for the movie to be made by Graham King. It was a little nerve wrecking to sign it only for the fact that you never knoe completely how the movie will turn out. I just want his life to be portrayed as acurate as possible. My mom and I are planning to consult on the script, so we'll see. Keep us in your prayers!! I know alot of you want me to respond to you personally but I really can't do that. I understand completely why you would want to talk to me but that is why I write on this website for now. I am sure we will do more book signings. We are still working on a website to post all that info. And by the way, I never saw my dad smoke anything in my life. Ciggaretts ect... Why? Well I'll talk to you later. Stefanie Ungar
