Re: Silly Question: Gus Hansen vs. Stu Ungar
 

Gus Hansen's closer to Greg Raymer than to Stu Ungar. They're good mathematical callers. Stu Ungar was primarily a mind reader.

The greatness of what Stu Ungar was will never be fully understood by today's players and comparing him to Gus Hansen is an insult to Ungar IMO.

Ungar and its not even close

I haven't logged over 5K hands with either of them, so I'm not at liberty to offer an opinion.

I'm sure you can find a 2+2er that has logged over 5K hands with each. Ask them.

5k is too small a sample size. I will entertain a hypothesis from someone with 100K hands and a theory from someone with 500K.

You don't need to play 5k hands against someone to decipher if one is a good player.

Sometimes just in talking with them you can find out where they are thought process-wise.

Hansen a modern day Ungar? Doubt it.

Deeb looked like a big friggin' baby when he made those comments.

Sorry you missed my apparently not-so-obvious sarcasm (I thought the 500k hands comment gave it way). Next time I'll use one of these: [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Personally I hope that we never see another Stu Unger. I am not speaking in terms of poker ability, but in terms of final outcome in life.

I read somwhere on onlineshark.com
that hansen is not doing so good in the big game.
there were rumors he is going broke.

I'd like to have seen Rain Man play Stu Ungar, that would be cool.

Definitely. definitely.
