POKER INFO - PROILE - Stu Ungar

Steph....what happened? I Can't believe things went down the way they did when you were in town... I took 3 days time off from work (pediatric nurse you know) and everything...guess you didn't read my postings after your last one...thought I would have heard from you by now. Hope all is well... I am still scratching my head over everyhting and I really wanted to meet you and your Mom as I mentioned many times... was weird to see how fast I was fotgotten. I am getting used to it, God or no God. Funny how the little things get put aside for the fast track. Take care...God bless. Kent

Stefanie, I am sorry if my response seemed harsh I was just dissappointed and hurt. I didn't see your question about if I was still on here. I have given you all my personal contact info if you wanted to find me. I know God is working in your life and you must be very busy. Take care and keep up the good work. Kent

Like millions of others I am just discovering poker and enjoying reading about the great players that have been.Stuey Unger, for me, is by far the most enigmatic and mysterious of the greats. Stephanie, it would have been a great privilege to have shaken your fathers hand. I am sure that is very proud of you, you are a credit to each other.I am intrigued by what made Stuey such a brilliant player, I really don't think that there will ever be another player like him.I'm hoping to make it over to Vegas next year, could someone tell me where his grave is? I'd very much like to pay my respects to him.Best wishes to all-------krayten

this Kent guy sounds like a real fruit loop -- a flipping stalker!!!!!!!!!Stay the hell away from him stephanie

I am doing an upcoming book about your dad and would like to at least get some input from you.
It's mainly a technical book that doesn't address his 'life', but rather focuses solely on his game. I would like to give your family the option to be a part of the project if you wish.

Contact me for more details.

Thanks

If that is the REAL Stefanie Ungar that has left them e-mails, PLEASE email me back I would love to chat with you online about your dad. I'am a HUGE fan and will be playing in my first WORLD SERIES in 2006 I'am not a rich person and the $10,000 buy-in is a BIG amount, but I have to see if I can sit with the BEST in the WORLD$$ It will be my first trip to VEGAS and I wanted to visit your dads grave and pay my respect to the CHAMP!! I would be honored if you would sign and send my a copy of his book!! I would be more then happy to pay you any expenses like shipping, book fee, etc.... I'am a 27 year old dealer from Detroit and have your dads pics and posters all over my room, I would love if I could have a chat with someone as close to stu as u If you are not Stu's daughter then you should get a life!!! Cause for a fan of Stu like me you really got me thinking I might be able to chat with the BEST EVER'S daughter!! And it would be a big let down if your a imposter p.s. I'am cute too, so you don't have to chat with some ugly weirdo LOL hope to hear from you soon James Hudgins

hey stef, just finished one of a kind and just wanted to say that dalla and allson did a great job and stuey would be proud i think, of how it was done. one of the best reads of my life. one thing that was shown in that book that seemes evident about stu, was that in some ways, he was a very wise man. he was a scholar of life, he just ran short in the common sense department, as many with genuis iq's do. we'll dont want to bore you so once again, the book was phenomanal and cant wait for the authorized movie. always good to see your posts stef, and god bless

Stu good man, he and I used to catch dogs and cats together. Mmmm good eatin baby.

Hey stef, I was wondering , I'll explain later, did your dad chain smoke? or smoke at all for that matter? cigarettes that is

Hello everyone!! I am glad to hear everyone is enjoying the book. I just officially signed the contract for the movie to be made by Graham King. It was a little nerve wrecking to sign it only for the fact that you never knoe completely how the movie will turn out. I just want his life to be portrayed as acurate as possible. My mom and I are planning to consult on the script, so we'll see. Keep us in your prayers!! I know alot of you want me to respond to you personally but I really can't do that. I understand completely why you would want to talk to me but that is why I write on this website for now. I am sure we will do more book signings. We are still working on a website to post all that info. And by the way, I never saw my dad smoke anything in my life. Ciggaretts ect... Why? Well I'll talk to you later. Stefanie Ungar

Stefanie.... I truly do feel like a stalker now. You did help me at first by letting me know I was not alone and someone cared. I took time off to meet you and your mom. As far as a book signing... well I learned my lesson. I am sure your father Stuey would be proud... as far as the golden rule of my true father I am not so sure but I am not the judge. I do not feel the same as when I started writing on this site... Just more empty promises.... hope that doesn't happen with your movie deal. dometimes life just gets so busy and full of opportunity we forget about those who need us and or just some faith in human good. I would suggest following the golden rule first and foremost....but hey fame is awesome. My son turns thirteen this week he wont or can't speak to me either. Thanks for your response and stay busy. Just talk the talk. Kent

Kent, I understand this is a hard week for you but you need not to put all your faith in people because you will get let down at times. I think that is the mistake you make and that is probably why you feel so bitter inside. God is truely the only one who will never let you down. I can't help that I couldn't get to a computer to write in ATL. But the time I did find one I wrote. And you can't blame me for you taking time off from work because last thing I know before leaving on my trip was that you were asking what time the book signing was because you didn't know if you could make it or not. It has nothing to do with "fame." I am not going to talk about this again so everyone can be entertained by this. I still do hope everything works out between you and your son. Takecare, Stefanie

Umm Kent your a wrido. Im guessing if her dad was here he would not be happy with you acting like Stefanie owes you something. I cant wait for the new movie to come out Stef. Stu is what I would call "life after death", he's bigger then ever and knows it were ever he is. Im glad you changed the name to the book, Stuey'the man behind the shads was kinda small for him. I love one of a kind that what I call myself.lol.Stef you did you do a book signing in las vegas.I dont live there at the moment anymore, just wondering.

Thanks for the "Wirdo" statement and I know what my father thinks of me (he sees my work, honesty, dedication and most of all resprect for others) and Stefanie knows who and what I am from our writings and my openess. I meant no disrespect. I am taking this site off my favorites list due to people and the things they say even when they do not have empathy (look it up) or time to read everything said above. Stuey was awesome and left behind a great legacy and a great daughter. For those that wish to hurt people I hope "really hope" you get blessed soon... "Truly", L8tr Stef stay with the counseling and never forget those around you and that you can help a lot of people like me. God may never let me down... but someimes his messengers miss the mark and or message. You are right I am bitter and I guess it is due to the fact that all these people around me are claiming to know God and tell me to find him and act as if (he or she) is not in all of our hearts (good or bad). It is up to us to think enough about others to carry out God's promises of love and do the good work and use life experience and talents that is good and God inside us in order to truly take advantage of his of her talents and these opportunities given to us. Lots of excuses get in the way, promises but no true compassion. Anyone can talked about it when they are blessed 9like your father after a big win but who was there after a big loss.. your picture). what is truly hard is to stop and take time for those that are in desperate need (like letting it all hang out on a website for all to see and take heat for it as I have done). You did that and I am not blaming you.... I won't keep this up either. I just wish you understood like I once thought you did as a child of someone who once had my disease and you helped me understand the other side better. You did help and I am and was very truly greatful and wanted to tell you in person... but then again it is easy to say oh well... we will let you down... you need to trust God.... he is in all of us... remember the just (when your dad was winning) and the wicked (when he was not). Be a light of good for all to see. Just keep your word and faith... no excuses. God Bless, KentNo need to respond.... I will not be back on this site. Take care and enjoy making the movie and book signings. Your Father was very gifted and so is everyone in this world... when they use their gifts for good and selflessness.... if we chose to point that out. I appologize for thinking about me too much it is what causes me pain beyond belief. I guess it only helps to help others in need like taking care of ill children when others turn their back on sick babies and say "just trust God" (like he is in an office somewhere and not in our hearts). Gods work is never done and there are always a lot of excuses not to get involved. Yes I am bitter.... sorry. I will try to trust God and not his servants or let this affect the way I act (as a servant) when asked to help someone... I WILL. Take care and I do wish you all the best. Take care, Kent

I, ummm, feel a little uncomfortable.

C ya Mike was always good to read your blogs UR a good fan.

I dont think anyone fills sorry for you Kent, your a man quite acting like your a lil homless boy cause you did not meet Stu Ungar's doughter. You act like we all got it good but you. This is what you sound like,Kent>>"hay guys im leaving this site cause no one loves me here I love god and people. Doesnt that sound bad? HAHAHAH Im funny.

These are the people you are left with.....good luck.

And yes I never ever met a Doughter in my life... a few "Daughters" but you will learn that kind of stuff in high school. Parents and friends give compassion....Some never learn.

How lucky can one guy get? This donkey time after time sucked out people on the river with donkey plays, kinda like Gabe Kaplan sytle. HeEEee HaWwww

People love to hate the best, because they know that they can never reach that levelYou people on here who criticise him for taking drugs are a joke, you have your own vice do you not?compulsive gamblers the lot of ya, so he without sin chuck the first oneAs anyone knows whos actually won more than they ever dreamed of, you dont quite know what to do with it when you get it and it certainly isnt money anymoreseems to me he lived his life exactly as he wanted and had a hell of a lotta fun and success along the wayAnd if he could whup the field while off his face ... the man is my hero, and a legend to all who know what they are talking about here it seems, stop the hate, we know who you are, your the same sukkers who hang around whining and whinging after a bad beat ... stu never did, just put his money where his mouth was and accepted the outcome, god bless all like him

Stu Ungar was an amazing player both in poker and gin. No one could touch Stu when it came to the mental part of the game. There are a lot of close 2nds (as far as, who is the best poker player) but Stu gets my vote as the best poker (and gin)player ever. Pick up his book "One of a Kind" and you'll see for yourself. It's my favorite book......ever!!

has anyone seen the 1980 WSOP, and does anybody know where I could get it.

Hey Stefanie, just wondering how the Christian Counseling is going for you. I remember you said you were going to school for it, and I was just curious how the journey has been treating you so far. I have really found it rewarding working with my Church in their program, although at first I have to admit I was a tad bit skeptical at how effective I might be, having never done anything like that in the past and being fairly young but I was just told to speak from the heart about the experiences I had when I was living that kind of life and the change I went through when I was saved and it has been nothing short of amazing. I hope your journey is as rewarding as mine has been and I know you will do GREAT things with it. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely,Stephen.....WGAIP

thank god that loser kent has finally packed his bags and left, everyone has problems. May i suggest he seek proper help instead of whinging on stuey's page!!

You can read about the 1980 and 81 WSOP in the Championship Table. Ungar was so incredibly aggressive against his oponents. He is truly the man.

Nobody whos commented on this sit could ever begin to understand or see the game the way Stu did. The man did better than anyone could and anyone ever will. Nobody will ever win 3 WOSP. Not to mention the 3 superbowl wins also. He was the best Gin player in the world and the best all around card player in the world in my eyes. Screw Juanda and Doyle and everyother hater who comments on this site. R.I.P Stu "the kid" Ungar. Gone but never forgotten

Someday, someone will come along and match stueys feat. However, that will probably be a very very long time from now. Stu will always be a bonified legend in poker.

I dont think there ever will be another poker player like him. The word BEST says it all!

Stef, did you write an artice for cardplayer mag, I was loing for it, but I don't see it yet, I was wondering if yoy know if it will be out soon.
