POKER INFO - PROILE - Stu Ungar

I really don't care to write you back brooklyn aveN. You have the same IP # as the one who is writting saing my dad was bisexual. And by the way my dad never left at anytime in my life, that is until he passed away.

Stefanie, I am not sure if you read me message above, but can you email me so we can communicate me privately. I'd rather not have everybody "talk mess" about our conversation. marciej13@yahoo

ROFLMAO Greg Raymer and Moneymaker the best!?!? HAHAH moneymaker is in last place in the tournament with all the top players playing against eachother on TV. Greg got lucky... Anyone can get a lucky streak of cards. When one of them wins as many big tournaments as stu did in the amount of tournaments stu won them in than you might be able to say they are great players. until than i hope they write some books for you to read and than you come and sit down at the poker table so i can take your money. thanks have a good one !!

I can't even believe people are discussing Raymer and Moneymaker on Stuy's board, its a joke! You can ask any of the most respected players in the game today and both of those guys won't even be in their top 50. GUARANTEED.

It is kind of hiliarious reading this stuff sometimes. I have to tell you you that. Me and my mom stated cracking up when I told her what was being talked about on this website. Anyway, please don't speak for me and say I "hardly knew my dad" because you all only know what you know from reading articles written on my dad. And in those articles ( 9 out of 10 of them) talks about how close were anyway. Kent, I got your message. I've been meaning to write you back sooner. You ask how I am the way that I am. I have to give all the credit to God for keeping his hand on me especially the past 5 years of my life. I have gone through some pretty tough times (not even mentioning my dad's death) after I realized that I had to invite Jesus into my life to help me work through my problems and everydays struggles that we all deal with that is when I saw my WHOLE life change. Trust me, I am not some (as they say) Jesus Freak but all I am telling you is what truly worked for me. I am only speaking for myself before some of you come at me with some crazy comments (which has been happening lately). But oh well what can I do. Hope you all are talking good care of yourselves. Kent I just wanted to say I think that's really cool you have been clean so long. Don't worry about falling from the last time. The most important thing is that you had a choice to stay in that lifestyle and you choose not to and you got bach up. That is the most important thing of all. Everything will work out with you and your son. Just give it to God and you'll see. Takecare. Stefanie

Thanks Stefanie, Some live like Christians and others talk about it. My X is one of those PK (Preachers Kid) literally who have God as their reason for doing what they do. It can make it hard sometimes to trust in the same or whatever...znother fourm...anyway... Thank you for your response. I am sure you have been kept well grounded and sound like a very mature Christian for your age. Most of all from your writing I know you loved and do love your father which gives me hope... All I can say is I can understand a little from his perspective and he was lucky to have you and an ex wife like your mother. Thanks again and please keep writing in this column. Your Father was a fascinating and gifted person people should know the truth. I can't wait to read the book and hope they make a "Good...True" movie about him. Hug your Mom for me I am sure she had a lot to do with the wonderful peson you seem to be. Kent

Peter, Thank you for what I believe will be a Fascinating book. My question is how much of it comes from Stu's own writing prior to his passing and how much came from "credible" witness acounts like Stephanie's and "true" friends that were not out to take from his talent and continue to spin yarns to profit from him at his expense? As you can see from this website a lot of things get made up and I was truly disappointed by the recent movie which I now know had no credibility. Also, has the WSOP recognized any formal intro or link to this years WSOP and recognition of the greatest WSOP champ of all time? Thanks for taking time to write here. Can't wait for the book. a link to where we can pre-order would be nice as well. Kent

If you do not want to post links in this forum you can forward them to my e-mail at [email]kentrn@bellsouth.net[/email] Wish I could be in Vegas to get an autographed copy. Thanks again

Greg Raymer and Moneymaker are the Gods of Poker...that's why they have their own website PokerStars.com. I can't see anyone playing better than these two players...they are the best I've seen. I feel that they are excellent role models for up and coming players.

raymer and moneymaker gods of poker? haha. you imbecile. raymer is good but as for moneymaker. answer me this. where did moneymaker finish in the 2004 main event? clue; he wasnt in the second day.

like i said greg raymer and chrus moneymakers are the new role models of poker and i feel all you you should respect their awesome ability to play the games, make strategic moves and read the other players flawlessly. of course JJ where were you ? You weren't at the event so you have no right to talk....at least moneymaker paid and entered the tournament more than what you can say for yourself...Moneymaker is an up and coming Legend!!!!

stephanie, if your dad left when you were young, and you hardly saw him, how can you expect people to believe what you say?

well steph, you were asked if it was true,and ducked question. but if you wanna get upppity, ok. Now, my turn. the same ip adress is due to some of us in New york, who knew your father, phil brush , or both, using same internet cafe. and since you and your punk friend wannabe want to get rough,or you want details, here we go, little princess. My uncle was hank smurra, a friend of Phils till phil was banished from new york by the mob in the 80's. He also knew your father. unclle hank was killed years ago, but when alive him and others used to tell of phil and stuey dating stueys future wife wife at same time. that is where jokes and rumors come from regarding bi stuff. I do not beleive it, others swear it is true. You say you and your mom laugh at these things. good thing your dad aint michal jackson, you and her might laugh to death! i know one story that is even more interesting. ASk your mom about her and phil brush and there "encounter" in a car that your father found out about. Only a dope would still marry a women after that. ask her, go ahead, its known all over brooklyn. phil even took her to avenue N dice games when she was dating your dad. sorry to bring it up but you wanted to talk sh*t, you and friend "wannabe" hope you and mom enjoy goof laugh overe that story, sure you two will find it funny.

and by the way, I am taking trip to rhoide island this week and may use hotel computer there, so don't get confused again over ip adresses. instead, try giving an occasional straight answer. You only give answers to those who agree with you on everything. try getting real

Your facts were wrong on so many things already. Do you really think I am actually going to give anything you have said much thought. Anyway, I feel as if I am arguing with a child and I am doing no better by replying to your commments. As I said before, I am not going to reply to anymore of your comments. Sorry everyone I need to exercise more self control.

Don't appologize Stefanie... take care and Thank you for being a part of something positive. I have learned a lot from you and your kindness. there will always be some people that just feel good hurting others. Don't let it affect you and your good nature or positivity. Then they win. Good decision not to respond. those with respect will ignore and not give thought or credibility to someone that wishes to hurt others simply by nature. Thanks again, Kent

this all sounds like fake feuding to me, something publicity people do to drum up a book sale---bi-sexual. is not, gangsters, and so on. probably one person or bunch of friends doing 90% of stuff here---stephanie, brooklyn guy, and others are all made up. what a waste of space

now person portraying unger daughter will make appearance--or will it be one of the other charactersand the guy claiming to be actor, asking for part in unger movie---please, we just had one!

Stefanie...how old are you? Just curious?

Iam 22.

LMFAO aveN your a good story teller.. and a real tough guy who uses words like "uppity" LOL you know its some fat kid with nothing better to do than to try and make up stories about people because he got no friends. when you take that trip to road island dont forget your laptop so you can be sure to post up your fictional life story... and regarding me and stef as "friends".... friends are usually people you hang out with in real life. maybe you should try and get some... i've never even met stefanie my whole life... so get off my jock...

with a name like "wannabe' you should be LAST person to talk about people trying to be something they arent. And princess stff still does not answer about her mother and stus friend phil in carif you think i'm bluffing look up uncle I mentioned, he was kiled in mob war, knew ungar and phil, knew steffs mom and so on. believe what you want

wannabe and stefanie sound like same person posting here. I think ken is right about fake feud being drummed up. I do wish (if stephanie is really ungars daughter) that she would answer the tough questions instead of hiding behind excuses for not answering.

its really her!! i swear it and im santa clause! see? i even got the beard...lolanyway Stu was definatly an amazing player, a persons life-style has nothing to do with determing who the best is. if i win 20 WSOP braclets but then go and screw sheep does this make me a bad poker player? no it just means that aside from being an amazing poker player i have a really nasty habit. same with Stu, amazing player, with a bad habit that does nothing to detract from what he acomplished, though it did stop him from acomplishing as much as he could have.

Simply Stated- Stu Was- Without Question- The Bestall Around Card Game Player Ever. Remember- Stuwas The Reason Vegas Went To Multi Deck Blackjack-as For Gin No One- No One- Would Argue That He Wasthe Best To Ever Play That Game. As For Poker Hisrecord Is Unmatched In Nlh Tournaments- I Can Predict With Almost 100% Certainty That No Onewill Ever Win Binions World Series Of Poker Twice-by That I Mean Chan, Doyle, Phil, Raymer, Ferguson,ivey,hanson,carlos,huck, Daniel N., None Of The Past Winners And None Of The Future Winners Will Ever Repeat-- Theres Simply Too Many Players Competing Now And Theres Always A Bit Of Luck Involved- The Only Person Who I Would Not Say That About Is The Kid. He Would Be The Only One That Would Even Have A Chance At Repeating Because As Ive Already Stated He Was The Best All Around Card Game Player Ever - Period- End. Rip Stuey

Hey rickyn I agree the guy was great. What's a bummer is that he died. You know don't you think it would safe to say that he could have won Binions 3 in a row. I know he won it twice but I feel strongly he could have made in back to back to back if he would have played every year, nice write up btw

I've recently taken a great interest in researching Mr. Ungar- not just his life or his mis-steps therein but his game.The man was equal parts brilliant and reckless, which transcended his poker game and apparently drove to the the center of his real life as well.In high stakes games, the reckless types are impossibly frustrating, but rarely are they brilliant. Here is where Mr. Ungar had things wired tight.The genius types always have another side to them- you cannot have that sort of cerebral capacity and not find life difficult at times. I think that Stu Ungar and Bobby Fischer are in this grouping (although from what I've read, Mr. Ungar wasn't stricken with severe mental illness as Bobby Fischer seems to be nowadays...)I believe that with the explosive growth of the popularity of poker and a number of people asking "Who was the greatest ever", Stu Ungars status as a cult figure has just seen it's genesis. Everyone is interested in a tragic cases of unparalleled genius- Mr. Ungar seems to fit that bill nicely.I'm 26 and to look at what Stu Ungar had accomplished by that age, it makes me a bit jealous- being one of the finest poker and gin players on earth.I look forward to seeing the movie- I haven't done so yet.

Hey Everyone! I always tell you all that I'll keep you informed of anything going on. Well, I just did an interview with the "New York Times" newspaper today. You can look forward to it comming out on the 26th of this month. They interviewed the authors of my dad's book and other poker players as well. I know alot of you don't believe I am realy Stuey daughter but now you have some inside scoop that no one knows about yet. Talk to you all later. Take Care. Stefanie

Anyone that does not think U R really not Stuey's daughter has not read this site. Thanks Steph for everything I look forward to it. Hope everything going well at WSOP with book? Thanks, Kent
