Classic Arrogance by stu ungar

[PokerPaul]

just read that one of a kind book.

The guy was no angel or role model, but gosh he knew how to play cards and people to his advantage.

One line of his i liked, was when he was playing hi limit stud, and had to go to the washroom. Instead of missing the action, he told a railbird (who at the time happened to be a broke Mike Sexton), to play a couple of hands for him until he got back.

First hand Stu's gone a huge multiway action pot gets going, with mike holding the nuts and jamming it. In the end he wins a mega pot in the thousands. Stu comes back, see's it and tells his opponents:

'You guys are so aweful i can even beat you when i'm in the Sh.. house"

All i know is if i were in that game i'd be playing the rest of the session to get back at him for that insult, and in the end he'd probably make me pay for that too...
