There are a number of different factors that go into making a great poker player.Ungar had two of these factors to the highest degree.First, he was a horribly compulsive gambler. Cannot respect money and play at that level. You need to be able to push what amounts to a years wages for a PhD on a total bluff and not think twice about it.Secondly, he had the geniuses mind for numbers.Lastly, his striking ability to recognize patterns was applied to reading people.Miniscule little nuanced things that you did that last time you bluffed or that last time you had a monster hand- things that 99.9% of the population wouldn't notice, well, Stuey did, and he logged into that computer mind of his for future use.
