 | It's Your Choice But Popular Opinion Springs In Favor Of The One of a Kind Poker Book - The Rise and Fall of Stuey Ungar (Paperback)Stuey Ungar had a rather intimate knowledge of the gambling world from a young age. In One of a Kind Poker Book - The Rise and Fall of Stuey Ungar, the authors give you an intimate view of his personal and professional life. He was a man who could make millions in a day and lose it just as easily. He had no concept of money, and it would eventually lead to his downfall. Stuey grew up in the Lower East Side of New York in the 1950's.
He never finished high school, but he learned how to make money just the same. Turning to playing gin rummy in the back alleys of New York, Stuey Ungar became quite proficient. The Genovese crime bosses decided to stake him to games. It didn't take too long for Stuey to stomp on all the best gin rummy players on the eastern seaboard. So he turned to the road, finding more competitors and learning the art of poker.
Finally landing in Las Vegas at twenty one, he stayed there, learning the techniques that would carry him throughout the rest of his life. He played with all the greats of his time. Amarillo Slim, Doyle Brunson and Jack Straus were just a few of the top players that became his mentors and friends. You can find out more about these relationships in One of a Kind Poker Book - The Rise and Fall of Stuey Ungar. He was a gifted student of the game, learning at breakneck speed.
Stuey Ungar was to win the World Series of Poker three times. He wasn't as good at learning to hold on to his winnings, however. Stuey went to the races often and would place bets on anything that took his fancy, finally winding up destitute in his later years. He lived a life of a nomad, always wandering to the next place looking for friends to give him a hand up when his luck invariably ran out. Enjoy your own copy of this Poker Book in just a few days.
