T. Alan W. reviewed One of a Kind : The Rise and Fall of Stuey ',The Kid', Ungar, The World's Greatest Poker Player on + 23 more book reviews
Stu Ungar was the world's greatest gin rummy and poker player, but a deeply flawed person. He was so good at gin rummy, that no one would play him, so he turned to poker. Although he made millions of dollars at both games, he died penniless and alone, before he was 50, in a cheap hotel room in Las Vegas.
Nolan Dalla is the world's greatest poker writer, who became quite close to Ungar in the last year of his life.
Dalla pulls no punches; this is an excellent adventure of the roller coaster that was Ungar's life.
