Most dominant poker player ever.  No one has come close to what he achieved.  The guy was feared by the best in the world playing  in cash games and tourns.

Only one to win 3 WSOP world titles, Moss didn't play and win 3.  And Stu would have probably won a 4th if he hadn't been high and gotten so blinded off at the 1990 Main Event.

Won 3 SBOP titles in 84, 88 and 89 which was the 2nd most prestigious poker title at the time.

Guy wasn't a one show pony who just specialized in one game like a lot of people today either.  He was beating the best in the world at the other big games of the day like Stud and low ball.

Lets put it this way, everyone knew he had "problems" but he was so good that people were still willing to back him in a tourn while playing the best players in the world!! That's how good he was.

He would have had a blast if he made it to the poker boom with all that soft money coming into the games.

And online, lolol. . . those kids analyzing people's games using software and looking for opponent ranges and combinations, blockers. . Stu was doing that stuff back in the 1960s-early 70s.  That's how he was able to have a clue what his opponents were holding while beating the best gin rummy players in the world.

Guy was getting black listed from all the Vegas casinos blackjack tables for being able to count the cards as well.

He did the same for poker hands.  That's why he would have been one of the few old time poker players that would have been dominating the scene during the poker boom.

Guy would surpassed everyone by light years in poker if he had lived.  Not miles, light years.
