Why\'d they write a book about Stu Ungar?
I just read his book "one of a kind".... after reading it the only way i could describe this guy was LOSER. this guy isn't worthy of no book in his honor. the guy was a loser in all faucets of life. no life control, no BR managment, ect. here's why they wrote the book. HE WAS BROKE AGAIN IN 98 WHEN THEY WERE WRITING IT AND NEEDED MONEY!!!

It's kindainteresting to think about what he would have been like if he was still alive. I think he would have probably been a mix of Phil H and Mike the Mouf. Except probably better at poker.

[/ QUOTE ]I said the best "tournament" player of all time. This isn't even an argument. Those fields he went against? Are you implying that Jaime Gold is better, because he faced more people?

The stupidity is almost mind-boggling. When Stuey was on top of the world, the WSOP was nearly all pros, not internet pros, but live poker pros. Present was enormous skill in the following areas : (1) reading opponents (2) studying, memorizing, and understanding betting patterns (3) long-term learning and understanding of players' styles (4) memorizing specific hands played against many different players over a long period of time and applying this knowledge (5) understanding psychological makeup and the effects of fear and greed and ego and applying them at the table You think that running over a large field of donkeys is the more difficult task ? Even without getting into which task is the more difficult, is it even valid to compare internet tourney experts with live tourney experts playing against other expert players ? In every interview I've ever read regarding Stuey, those who played against him gave his game great respect (when he was on). Another factor that must be taken into account, Stuey was all about fast money. His mind was so supercharged he became bored far more easily than most anyone. He needed action all the time. This is probably why he wasn't nearly as good at limit as he was at no limit.
