Ungar had to be good player, probably best at Gin. But all the genius talk is crazy (I'll probably get blasted now by all the Ungar nuthuggers) For example, I keep reading he had agenius I.Q. According to what??? Also, every other top Poker tar is now called 'a mathamatical genius" He was a top card player, but not a superhuman, or a genius. He was not even best ever at poker. Close, but not top 10 ever. I know he won 3 times, but he was in every year for 20 years, and it was easier to win in 1980's then it is now.
