He is very sexy and cute. Looking at him make me want to cuddle with him all night. I get loopy in my stomache just looking at his picture.

he could have had it all... the man would win a million in poker then drop the lot on golf games or craps... repeated this cycle a number of times in his life... but thats what made him such a great NL poker player, he simply didn't care about the money...

He got banned from a casino for counting down the last 14 cards in a one deck shoe to a pit boss after being accused of cheating cause he was up so much. Then he got dared for $100,000 to his $10,000 to count down the last 3 decks of a 6 deck shoe. He did it with ease. What a remarkable brain.

Stew Ungar was in a league of his own. No one can be compared to him, and he hands down the best player to ever have played the game. I don't think that anyone in my lifetime will be even close to being as good as ungar. And the remarkable part is that NLH wasn't even his best game. Just think what he could have done if he didn't get into all of those drugs. RIP Stu, you're the man.

Don't knock the man because he did drugs. He had his personal demons stemming from a crappy childhood. His parents were bad and they died young. What can you expect from the man? Luck can win you one WSOP but it can't win you 3. Stu was one of the greatest minds to ever touch felt. He deserves nothing but respect.

He was the best. What made him great was his ability to play as if he wasn't trying. But his mind was always alert to waht was going on around him. The drugs took some of that away and eventually it did him in. If wall street had ever found him in the early 80's he would be an "Allan Greenspan" type with a clue to the markets.

Stu is immortal, a genius possessing skills that can only be acquired from God. Like Mozart or Einstein, his skills defied the bounds of human nature. The fact that so many dim wits slam him for his lifestyle prove the fact of his genius. No one can criticize his game, only his personal troubles which actually make his achievements that much more remarkable. People love to hate the best, because they know that they can never reach that level.Stu was and is the greatest!

i turned on the tv one day to watch stu dominate the last world series he won. I thought the game was rigged or he had x-ray glasses. All the pros today are Lucky hes dead, he was the best and made a joke out of the rest.

Stuey's legend lives in the movie "High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story" (formerly called "Stuey"), picked up by New Line and set to release next April (or maybe sooner). Michael Imperioli (Christopher of the "Sopranos" plays Stuey, written, produced and directed by Tony Vidmer. Details at official web site [url]http://highrollermovie.com[/url] and Yahoo! group site [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stueymovie[/url] It's awesome! I saw it at the Nashville Film Festival.

My mother and I, along with a few others are putting together a book about my dad's life as we speak. Hopefully it with be released by the next WSOP. His life was amazing. Even I was surpried to hear about all the things he went through while he was making a name for himself. For those of you who think he was nothing but a coke head I'll fill you in on a few things... my dad never smoked ciggaretts, drank, smoked pot or anythings of that nature his whole life. He was the stratest guy you ever met. It wasn't until he came to Vegas and he was be playing in tournaments that lasted 3 or 4 days in a row that's actually how drugs got introduced to him. Luckly tournament arn't like that now of days.

He was truly one of the best players in history if not the best of all time he just played it like he invented the game otherwise the game would have invented him!

Three World Series Of Poker Main Event titles, three Super Bowl Of Poker Main Event titles, and countless other wins...Over 31 MILLION in earnings in such a limited number of events...How can anyone dispute who's the greatest No-Limit Hold-'Em player of all time...STU UNGAR BY FAR...SECOND TO NONE.
