You left out the best part of the quote. “Some day, I suppose it's possible for someone to be a better no limit hold 'em player than me. I doubt it, but it could happen.” “But, I swear to you, I don't see how anyone could ever play gin better than me.” Gin was always his strength, Hold’em was more prestigious and a quicker buck

"play ended for the night, Stu was tired, so he went to his hotel room and did some coke" LOL the way you said that as if it was the most normal thing in the world to do when you're tired and want to relax.

I was counting and playing ,Crib at 4 gin and 10/20 at5 poker at 5 aswell. I played a guy said his road game was 10/20 at the end of the day it was no more. Great player this guy. Peace 😎 ✌️

GOAT of poker did it before all this studying, books, online forums, the Bobby Fisher of poker. A real gambler living crazy right on the edges constantly coming back from near death. He layed the foundations of the argo style of play and the rest followed. If he only was to be alive can’t image how much he would of contributed to game.

Probably not much. Stuey wasn't a good student or teacher, he never put in the work at anything, he never made any real contributions to the world. His peers considered him to be the best but he's more of a cautionary tale than anything else.

So on Doug Polks video Kane just said the bet with the 6 deck shoe... they counted out 3 of the 6 decks and stu had to tell them what the remaining cards were in the 3 decks for 100k

@Scott-wq5lk

I saw that podcast too; Kane is incorrect unless he's directly mentioning a different bet. Mike Sexton was sitting next to Ungar as Bob Stupak bet him 10K on one deck that he couldn't name the last card, and Stu did it. It's possible that there was a different bet with a 6 deck shoe but I think it's more likely that the one deck story got spun up to 6 decks as people continued to tell it over time.

I do love my horse racing too I must admit. American racing isnt to great to bet on but uk/Ireland racing can be a good run.

I wish they would do a good movie about Stu. His daughter refused to put her name on it because she said that was not her dad.

The trick to winning at poker is stay out of the pit and play where there are lots of promos. People laugh at me but promos put a dent in the rake.

I've sure you've seen the ads by now: "1st time deposit match up to $1000". That's a promotion. Real world casinos don't offer anything so lucrative but there are still a bunch to be taken advantage of.

Assign values to each card - As = 1, Ad = 2.... and then count the values of 51 cards and then subtract from the total and you get the value of the missing card.

you can't say that, sure many people today studied the game more and must have gained abilities that could be better than what Stu possessed back in the day.
