i'm not gonna sit here and recite stu's accomplishments. anyone who knows anything about cards at all know the name and what stu did. i just wanted to tell a little story that will be appriciated here. my parents both gambled a lot, but not problematically, ever since i could remember. when i was 15 they took me to las vegas for the first time on vacation. we were more frequent atlantic city patrons. but i'll never forget seeing the man who made me wanna be a poker player playing at a razz table most high rollers couldn't even dream of buying into. stu embarrassed player after player. i watched him for at least 2 hours before my dad pulled me away to go to our room. saying that stu was the best card player of all time isn't enough. it's almost insulting to his ability to even compare him to any other player. the best player sets the bar for other players. stu ungar did not do this. he broke the bar and set what isn't a standard for a true legend, but an unattainable greatness that no man could ever come close to repeating. -thanks for being my hero stu. vinnieknish
