As a young man I lived in California and was a damn good stud player. Being from the Midwest I had never played holdem until 1984. I just happened to be in Las Vegas when I met Stu. He taught me a lot about NLH but more importantly he taught me a lot about life. I am proud to call him a friend and the world is worst off because he is no longer with us. Stu was one of the nicest people I have ever met and because of him I am a better person. His addictions were a bi-product of his love to play poker. Johnny Moss once said he would be glad once He was dead, himself of course, then he wouldn't have to worry about looking across the table at Stu. Post and Fold for me Stu I'll be there eventually.
