I did read One of a Kind and was convinced that Stuey had a somehwat uncanny natural ability to master card games, but I'm not usually blown away by these hands that people breathlessly retell.

Other than the hand against Sztremp, I tend to agree with you; I think there's some dead-hero worship going on. That's not to say the guy wasn't a great player; he was, obviously.
Some of the gin rummy anecdotes are pretty impressive.
