POKER INFO - PROILE - Stu Ungar

nothing more to say then stu is the man i admire for his game and the way he love his family(daughter)my personal live have alot of simultane ups and downs i can only try to use his story to not end the same way he did ...to stefanie keep the good work going, nice job you father is proude off you be sure off it.and to all those who use this site to yak about who was the best....is that realy so important?he was a genius no doubt about that.

The movie is still in the "Development phase" when I know more I'll be sure to tell you all. To answer your question if my dad was an alcoholic, he was not at all!! I never once in my life saw him drunk. Even when he was growing up he never did any drugs or drinking at all. Unfortunatly not all of us can say that. I know I've expermented growing up. But is his case he never had an intrest. It wasn't until his days of late night card games is when the drugs started. Hope you all are staying far away from all that kind of stuff. It's is hurting you alot more than you are realizing. Trust me. Stefanie

Hi steph i have lived in las vegas for 21 yrs and spoke to many people who new your father and said he was not only the greatest player ever to play the game but a great person also. i read the book and thought it was great.steph can you please tell me where i can get any video of your father in the 1980 1981 or 1997 world series. take care Dave

The only place I can think to get a copy of his 81 and 97 WSOP tapes would be from ESPN or Binions. I know the 1980 championship can't be found. I tried to get one myself and no one can find it. I'm not sure if it was even taped. Stefanie

Thanks Stef for your reply i found the 1981 & 1997 dvd on ebay thanks. Dave

80 wasn't taped. wish it was

Just found an amazing website that covers Stuey's 1997 WSOP win. The website is [url="http://conjelco.com/wsop97/event21-4.html"]http://conjelco.com/wsop97/event21-4.html[/url] It is absolutely golden. It may be long, but it is definitely worth reading. For the people that have already seen the 1997 WSOP on DVD or VHS, they will be able to find hands that were never aired on TV. One is able to see how tough and aggressive Stuey played throughout the tournament, and wow, some hands that he plays during the tourney...well, that's for you to read yourselves, don't want to spoil it yet. The current website I gave has a hand summary, much like internet poker, for the final table play. It was recorded by Tom Sims who does a terrific job for his coverage of the 1997 WSOP. There is also a recap article by Ken Adams on the side. In the previous pages you can find highlights of the previous days. Well, I hope everyone checks this website out and I hope that we are able to steer the focus of this forum back to its real purpose: to honor a man that has given so much to the game of poker and life. Enjoy!
