Stephanie, I appreciate your response to my question about the rights to Nolan Dalla's book and the life rights of you and your father. If you don't mind, is there a studio or producer who currently is taking on the project? Whoever has the rights, I hope they don't mess it up like the makers of High Roller. Thanks for your time Stephanie, I really appreciate it.

I knew Ungar a bit in the 1970's, saw him play. He played in a club on 70th street in New York. Was a good guy, but a soft touch, was always helping out deadbeats. He had a lot of hangers on even then. He did lose sometimes, I don't think he really got great till he was in Vegas a few years. He had a few real friends, but mostly people looking for money when he won. His best friends were mostly old men, one guy was Victor who owned club he usually played in---and who made him a better card player. He also had a bunch of old men from downtown New York he would go out with to gamble. It is shame he did drugs, he was great, and wining world series of poker 3 times over 17 year period is great acomplishment, not something luck brings.

and by the way, movie was bullshit

many years ago when i saw that movie's website, I was very disappointed because I was so touched by Stu's life and I knew that this movie was going to be a piece of sh*t film. I hope the world ignores this film and hope that a better one will come out. To be honest, I know what it'll take for the a Stu Ungar film to be good. In fact, I'm waiting on Nolan Dalla's book to come out to see how he wrote Stu's life story. To be honest Stephanie, here is one advice that I will tell you now when Nolan's book is out. If there is potential in which a Studio wants to make a film about your father, I would decline, unless you're there to make money which i can tell is not the case. I say, wait a few more years. THe world, and the general audience has to learn poker. They have to know it like how they know baseball. POker is going in that direction and all it needs is time. Once that has been set, the world will truly be amazed by Stu Ungar's abilities. Right now the only kind of people that understand Ungar's abilities are the ones that DO PLAY POKER. That's why we're all touched because we know the difficulties. HOwever, the GENERAL audience doesn't yet. But soon they will. Be patient on the movie, let the book come out.

you sound like an idiot

Stylistic = idiot

no screen name = idiot more.

Dear Stephanie,After so many discussions with your father about you in 1998,I know that he would be extremely proud of you after seeing how you respected and admired him through all these wonderful things you have written on this website.Bill S.

bull $hit billyrat!

Are you the guy I met at the Goldcoast in 1998 with my dad?

of cours hes going to say yes. if he meet you he woulda braught that up to.

Ok then. If you happen to be the Bill I think I may have met can you tell me where we went to eat first because the guy above has a point. I am usually smarter then that.

they need to remake the stu ungar movie with a bigger budget and use the real names who did they have working the sounds chim chim right when the pop music ends when his

wife shows him the new home you here a car alarm and when hes at the bus stop you see a 2003 trans am drive by and the time is supposed to be 1997.

Im the guy above who has a point. Everone claims to be a friend or a famly member or something but none of us but Stefanie know anything about Ungar. Im on here to ask Stefanie about him so I know more about the one of a kind guy. Im sorry but if you cant write anything that hasnt been writen dont write like you where Ungars best friend. I notice that everyone said thay knew him or met him. Stefanie you went to BishupGormen high school on maryland and okey? I live right next to it. If you went there.

i think stu ungar was good but nick the greek was better in cash games both were good gamblers in poker!

I never seen the movie about Stu Ungar, but just recently read a few articles written about him in a poker magazine called card player which discussed his rise to a great poker player and his uncanny ability to play gin and read the cards. I do feel that many card players resepected him and also envied him. I'm sure he broke many egos. As far as I'm concerned I'm convinced by what was said about Stu Ungar and his titles that there will never be a better poker player than him. If you were to compare him to the players today I feel that there would be no comparison. He would dominate the field in "poker" but he loved action and bet on just about anything. When Stu Ungar died the world lost a true Poker and Gin Legend. Let us respect him for who he was and never ridicule him, becaue none of us here in this forum has walked in his shoes so therefore we have no right to pass judgement. I feel that we should all appreciate the fact that Stefanie has taken the time from her own life to write a book about her father and also has provided imput on this forum. I bet Stu would have walked all over all the players today if were with us now.

Stephanie,please send me an email asap.

This Guy Is The Man. I've Played With Him Back In The Old Days.. Althought Not Poker, But Golf. I Am A Better Player Than Him, He Suck At Golf I Ended Up Making $215,000 From Him Even Thought I Gaved Him A Handicap! Fuking Unbelievable. He Rules At Poker, Im Not Really A Friend Of His, But I Like To Bet On Golf With Him ;) It Was A Good Move By Me ;)

dear stefanie where is your dad buried

Would have loved to party with this guy.

This was written in Ne wYork magazine years ago, right after Stu died, was one of best articles about him, it was written before rumours and alleged friends came out of woodwork [url]http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/people/features/914/[/url]

can't cut and paste pal? I found it at new york metro, by putting ungar +"end of the game" in gooogle search. Is old article, out of date, but interesting, some stuff about him I nevwer heard I dont think he was greatest at poker, he lost too many times way more than wins article also skips his drug use

great article, good stuff on stuey

Stu Is the GREATEST player that ever lived...A TRUE LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the article, did not like the movie though

My dad is buried in Las Vegas.

Thanks JOJO, The article almost reads like the recent movie "HIGH ROLLER". I wonder if that's how they based the movie.

Hey Mike the Flash...that was agood article and thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading it.

Nick the greek !! LOL I've read some books about him and he got schooled by johnny moss. Stu imo is better than Moss. Considering his record. So how could Nick The Greek even be compared.
