Last night I watched "High Roller" for the first time and was sadly disappointed. Yes, it was a good MOVIE, but I feel as though they made a mockery out of my poker idol. There seemed to be so many inaccuracies that the movie was made strictly for the sake of being a movie rather than an actual portrayal of Stu himself.That being said, I'm relatively new to the whole tournament poker scene - only been playing for three years (after 2002 WSOP; only playing in the casino since last year when I turned 18 :-/) but the more I play, the more I see poker changing. Never again can I imagine a player like Stu Ungar being successful at the WSOP or any other big event in NLH. There's far too many "online pros" out there that haven't the brilliance nor determination Stu possessed. He was truly a legend and will forever remain, in my mind, the greatest poker player of all time.
