Highroller

I finally got to watch Highroller, The Stu Ungar Story. (thanks to Jardine for lending me the dvd.)

A lil info on Stuey,
Stu Ungar is a card playing prodigy. He started playing cards at a young age, gin rummy was his game. In fact, he mastered it and a couple of other card games, including poker. He had the skill, experience and gift. That's why he's the world champ three times. The story revolved around his superstar/rockstar lifestyle - sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling. He wanted the action, betting big on horse races, sports live odds even on the fairway. He was a heavy drinker&smoker, which lead to his coke addiction. He was crazy, people might think he's a loser but he was a genius at the table. His life was all about action, but he didn't care about the fame or the money. What a guy...

If I was Stuey, I'd stick to poker...

And for you folks out there who want action, you know where it's at.

Peace.

Fish-OUT!!!
