Re: What if Stuey were still with us
[ QUOTE ]
Hi Autocratic: I actually briefly played with Stu Unger a couple of times in full ring games. The unfortunate thing about him is that even though he was clearly a great no limit tournament player, he was also a favorite to lose whenever he sat down in a side game. And because of this, he can't rate great in my book. There are a few players who have excelled in both areas. Dan Harrington is one, and perhaps Daniel N is another, but he's still a little new on the scene for me to be absolutely sure. Best wishes, Mason [/ QUOTE ] What about Phil Ivey? He's excelled in both I thought. He won 3 bracelets in 2003, if I remember correctly.

[/ QUOTE ] You forgot Stud 8/b [/ QUOTE ] I may be wrong, but isn't the O for Omaha, not Hi/Lo? I really don't play Omaha, that was just my impression. And I never knew that Unger was relatively untalented in side games. Rather interesting.

Re: What if Stuey were still with us
I think I read somewhere that even he admitted this - that he could win the WSOP but could get killed in a 6/12 ring game. Maybe it was in TJ/McEvoy's book - can't really recall -
everyone has the things they're best at - no shame in being really good at one thing and not so good at another. RB
