Re: If Ungar were still alive, how would he be doing?
From what I read, before he became a total mess he wasnt even playing that much poker cuz it turned into a total grind. Instead he would just bet on sports and find other ways to gamble. So if he was alive today he would be on the 200/400 plo games on ftp LDO.

Re: If Ungar were still alive, how would he be doing?
from what i've read
Stu Unger's style of play was similar to that of Layne Flack; also, according to one contemporary i heard in a radio interview (sorry, can't recall the name) Unger's style was effective in tournies and short handed, but in a full ring cash game he was not good. i doubt if all his innate genius could overcome the volume of computer analysis now available--he would probably have had to adapt his play |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Great tourny player, may not do as well in live games as he used to do though. He will still probably be a winning player but people have found a way to combat hyper aggressive styles like his in the side games so he may not do as well as some people think. Might be close to how Gus Hansen does. [/ QUOTE ] What you say is true, but imo he woulda just outthunk the thinkers! Why? SELF PROCLAIMED GENIUS. ACTUAL 'GENIUS'.

Stu's death has been exaggerated.
He's living in Florida with Bigfoot and Elvis. They make made cash posting mall upskirt shots on the intra-webs, and then lose it all betting on Jeopardy reruns. |

Every high-stakes cash pro would be thrilled that Stu was so good at tournaments.
