Hi Timer:

I do agree that Unger was a genius and had some very special abilities. But you have to look at the complete package, not just certain attributes, and that's what this discussion (I think) is about.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hey, Ryan ... the guy is dead, let him rest in peace ... In response to an earlier post of yours, you do NOT have to defend his name, repirtation or whatever other self-anointed mission you have taken on.

I think what pissed me off to begin with was Ray saying Stuey wasnt world class at Gin and saying he was great but "not the best by far"

Thanks for giving your honest opinion on his Gin game. All Im trying to say really in this whole huge 3 day rampage is that Stuey was the best at Gin, and he was world class at no limit holdem tournament, and I think his accomplishments and record at NLHE tournaments still qualify him as being considered a world class poker player even if he couldnt beat a ring game for nothing.

But, now that I've heard your opinion on his Gin game is accurate with what I've heard, I'll probably shut the heck up, b/c thats half of all I really care about.

in the quote Ryan gave us, DS says "when he was at his best..." This year, I saw Adrian Beltre make a play at third base for the Dodgers that was out of this world. Brooks Robinson couldn't have even dreamed of making this play in his prime. That doesn't make Beltre any better than Robinson. It just underscores the amount of talent that he wastes. The same thing applies to Unger, it seems.

Why do I care?

Why do people care to try and discredit his ability?

Same reasons I guess.
