Re: If Ungar were still alive, how would he be doing?
He would rarely have a roll but would just play donkaments and do well with an adjusted style because of all the LAGs out there playing a similar gamestyle that was not promoted a decade or two ago.

Re: If Ungar were still alive, how would he be doing?
He'd probably be the biggest thing in poker. Here's an awesome documentary on stu

[ QUOTE ]
he would not be as succesful as he was twenty years ago. he crushed the fields mainly because he was one of the very few agressive players. against nowadays maniacs his style would not fit that well. but still he would be one of the best [/ QUOTE ] i agree but what ranking does one of the best fall into these days? mike caro said that you can take the best player and the 150th rated player, put them on a same tournament table everyday and it would take a few years for the results to show the difference. i dont think donkaments is a good gauge for poker skillz. i also dont think stu would be one of the best in cash games today either........not if he has a drug problem or tilt issues which he had. theres a lot more to the overall picture of being one of the best other than just having talent. lots of other factors that have to be balanced with the talent. i think it should be more of a question of, "would stu have the potential to be one of the best these days?" i say yes.

Re: If Ungar were still alive, how would he be doing?
[ QUOTE ]
impossible to say given the "changing" of the game...even doyle says the game is completely different today than in the 70s-80s... just a newb's 2 cents [/ QUOTE ] This is all true. However, if we use a working definition of intelligence as 'the ability to adapt to changing and varying circumstances', then had ungar kicked his habit and concentrated on poker there is every chance he would have kept up with the changes in the game... After all, this is what the OP asked. Uh say he kicks the drug habit and focuses on poker. How good is he today? not what kind of drugs would he be doing, ldo.

[/ QUOTE ]wtfwtf are you serious [/ QUOTE ] yes, very serious. look, i'm pointing at my face right now [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]........this is my serious face. is there any doubt that the long run is harder to establish in tourneys rather than cash games? if you are a great tournament player yet go a few years without taking down a major score, does that mean you suck? i dont see why anyone would try to gauge someone's poker skills in a more luck oriented arena like donkaments. its a guage, but i think cash games are a better guage. thats all. just my opinion.
