I was inspired by the Ungar story that frankly it was owing to my interest in same that I became interested in playing poker. Let's face it this most diminutive man was a legendary giant of giants in so many ways - take his generosity for instance: walking with a friend in the street a guy goes up to stuey and asks him for some money. Stuey without thinking twice took a hundred dollar bill from his back pocket and gave it to the guy. After being thanked, a few moments later his friend asked "who was that?" Stuey drawled, "How do I know, sure if I knew the guy I'd have given him more!" His legendary generosity notwithstanding, when you add up all the ways in which he was special you realise that he was truly one of a kind.
Unique among people: Stuey didn't play the game for money. He played money for the game.
