Re: If Ungar were still alive, how would he be doing?
Hard to tell just because the game has changed SO much. As has been stated, he was an extremely aggressive player compared to all the nits that used to play. Now, aggressive style is the norm and people aren't afraid to make hero calls. His style would have done terribly during the golden age of poker because no one could lay down hands. Also, Doyle has said that his temper/tilt control rivaled Hellmuth's. Obviously he was a genious and could probably have adapated, but I don't think he would be at the pinnacle of the game like he used to be. Obviously his lack of bankroll management would be his biggest problem. Seeing him on High Stakes Poker would been awesome.
