Just found an amazing website that covers Stuey's 1997 WSOP win. The website is http://conjelco.com/wsop97/event21-4.html It is absolutely golden. It may be long, but it is definitely worth reading. For the people that have already seen the 1997 WSOP on DVD or VHS, they will be able to find hands that were never aired on TV. One is able to see how tough and aggressive Stuey played throughout the tournament, and wow, some hands that he plays during the tourney...well, that's for you to read yourselves, don't want to spoil it yet. The current website I gave has a hand summary, much like internet poker, for the final table play. It was recorded by Tom Sims who does a terrific job for his coverage of the 1997 WSOP. There is also a recap article by Ken Adams on the side. In the previous pages you can find highlights of the previous days. Well, I hope everyone checks this website out and I hope that we are able to steer the focus of this forum back to its real purpose: to honor a man that has given so much to the game of poker and life. Enjoy!

OK, I am going to wade into the mud one more time and speak my mind. I read this stuff from others that just seem to want to say mean judmental things even about memories of the deceased. I can only imagine what life must be like for those with time for hurting others. Those of you who debate how the pros who played Stuey Ungar felt...or even those that talk about how mean he was and do not listen to what his own daughter has to say about him... please go to this website (http://www.gocee.com/poker/stu_ungar.htm) and see what Chan, Brunson, Sexton and yes even one of the famous card dealers that everyone talks about being "hit in eye with a card" tell his side of the story and what he learned from Stuey (good and bad). Please open your minds and read. I do not believe anyone is "better....or greater" than anyone else. In a world of individuals comparison is a sensless activity. All I know is that those who knew and loved this man say he had an ubelievable talent and I am fascinated and touched by his story. I respect what he did and he obviously left his mark on the world. I happen to think now that his greatest accomplishment and his greatest love (Stefanie) is his greatest legacy and she continues to try to make this world a better place and help others....Then there are other people I see writing on this site that appear to take great joy in hurting or trying to hurt others with judgemental comments while in the same breath admitting Stuey's talent. We all have our demons and the lesson I take from Stuey is that he overcame them to do what no person has ever done and will probably never do again. Those demons caught nack up to him, however, he did things I can only dream of... but most importantly the person he was looking at and chatting with on the phone while he Won his 3rd WSOP main event title is still here today doing good for others like me on this very web page. She has never been mean or hateful or disrespectful to anyone on this site...however, those who cannot control their selfs continue to attack and disrespect and she continues to be positive. These same people criticize Stuey for his faults...yet... the only legacy these people seem to want to leave is one of hurting others? I love cards, poker, GIN and mostly addrenaline rushes from taking chances. How I get that rush and the rewards often controls my actions (some good / some bad)... Those of us who are perfect should cast the first stone...lots of rocks being thrown on this site. But the one person that is making the world a better place and making others say, "I would be proud to be her Father" is Stuey's greatest legacy. Those being mean and saying mean things abuot Stuey's gifts, ability and character... what would your parent's say about that? I hope some of you will read the site link I am providing here with an open mind and heart. Note the spelling of "SteFanie's" name and ask yourself why would someone make up things and write what she has on this site if it was not her? Also, for those that will say, "oh that site he sent was just made up those people didn't really feel that way about Stuey Ungar"... note the e-mail addresses attached to the articles... it is them. For those that will blast back at me and continue to have a closed mind and need to hurt others... I hope you find a better purpose in this world. I have said what I have to say.... we ALL have talents I am just fascinated with Stuey Ungars talent and would like to achieve one 100th of his success and avoid his failures by learning from those that loved and respected his gifts. Wish we could all focus on what made him good and learn from those things that took his talents and life away. We ALL have those things inside us it is only a matter of choice if we act upon the good or the bad in us... enough said.Please visit this site and read: http://www.gocee.com/poker/stu_ungar.htm
I am doing an upcoming book about your dad and would like to at least get some input from you.
It's mainly a technical book that doesn't address his 'life', but rather focuses solely on his game. I would like to give your family the option to be a part of the project if you wish.
