Why Stu Ungar is the best of all time:

Stu was/is the only player to win the WSOP Main Event 3 times. 
The only player to win the Super bowl of poker 3 times.
Never lost a heads up in the main event
Won Back-to-Back main event titles in both 1980 and 1981(Defeated Doyle Brunson HU for the title)
Finished 9th in the 1990 main event without even playing for the entire second day
Won a WSOP Seven card Stud bracelet
Won a WSOP Deuce to Seven Bracelet
The undebated best Gin Rummy player and won multiple Gin-Rummy Tournaments

In his short life, Stu Ungar accomplished more in the poker and cardplaying world than anyone has to this day. Sure the fields are bigger and the competition stiffer but one thing is for sure, Stu Ungar was a genius and had a completely unmatched career for how long he lived.

Because of his photographic memory, Stu was so good at counting cards that he was banned from playing blackjack in any casino in the country.

Sure he was a drug addict in his later years, but he was a great guy and loved his friends and family. He would actually give large amounts of money to people he barely knew just to help them out of a jam.
