Re: If Ungar were still alive, how would he be doing?
BIG assumption to make, that he'd kick the drugs. One could argue that a lot of his poker success was due to the same go for broke, all-out mentality that caused his death. But assuming he quit the drugs, I still think he'd be enjoying quite a bit of success at poker --- his innate feel for the game, combined with his amazing intuition and recollection would still make him a top pro. But I still say he'd win at poker and then blow it on sports betting or the ponies.
