He is the greatest poker player of all time. You should check out the movie High Roller: The Stu Ungar Stroy. Really good movie. Michael Imperioli plays Stuey, and does a great job.

Read the book: One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey ',The Kid', Ungar, The World's Greatest Poker Player. It's a great biography that outlines how great a player he was, but also explains the reasons for his downfall. It is a cautionary tale.

Cheers!

Yeah I have it in my collection... but is weird for me to picture little Chrissy Moltisanti as Stuey

High roller was a decent poker movie though. It could have been better, and the editing got a little sloppy towards the end (sign of a small budget pushing past it's deadline). But still a solid flick about a great poker player.

Lol, yeah. The first time I saw the movie I kept thinking the same thing. I still think he did a great job as Stuey.
