Take the collective poker talent of everyone to have made a post in this site, put it in one player, and Stu Ungar would beat that person in ten minutes headsup. I would also like to thank his daughter and family for compiling a book about his life. Being a twentysomething player I am truly thankful that tournament structures have changed, It is incredible to think of his accomplishments given the way those tournaments rode players like abused workhorses. Perhaps the greatest loss of our time not to be able to watch him play, but it is nothing to your loss, Ms. Ungar. To hell with those who would disrespect him over drugs, they weren't there. They don't know the pressure he felt, more than likely they'll never know it. But they will dream every time they sit at a card table that they had a tenth of the genius your father possessed. I anxiously await the release of your book as well as the film next year. I hope it shows people who think poker is an easy living exactly how many obstacles we indeed face. God bless and thank you again.
