POKER INFO - PROILE - Stu Ungar

hey stef im wondering if ur dad was a christian like u are i doubt it since his high intelligence would probably make that unlikely..no offense

In response to vampyre... I am just curious to know why you would think because of his high intelligence it would of been unlikely for him to be christian?

My dad had what is called true NATURAL talent. Of course that's nothing new but he didn't wake up one morning and decide "I want to learn how to play cards really well." By watching his mother play gin rummy when he was 8 or 9 is when he noticed he was in a different league when it came to cards. He would watch her play and he started catching her mistakes. In school is where his teachers noticed he was unlike other kids. His ability to understand math was scarey. Kids use to call him a "freak of nature." I feel like I am giving everything away. your not going to have anything to read about when the book comes out. I love talking about him though so I can't help it. I never realized how much he was looked up to in the poker world until he passed away. I always just saw him as my dad. Talk to you all soon I am sure.

Stef,I am also interested if Stu was a Christian (a true Christian that is). cheers

Billy Baxter backed him the 10k

When you accept Jesus into your heart you become Christian. What do you mean by "true Christian"? Do you mean... did he always live rightously? No, not always. But who does. Just because you are Christian doesn't mean you are perfect and never do wrong again. But the more you get to know God and his word you fall in love with him(that's in my case) and you turn from alot of your old ways out of your love for him.We all are sinners and that was the whole reason Jesus came to die on the cross so we can be forgiven for the times when we do fall short and sin. But yes he did accept Jesus into his heart before he passed away.

lol, what I meant by "true Christian" was did he accept Jesus as His Lord and Saviour. Great to hear that he did! thanks
