High Roller now on video *LINK*

[eyesfor21]

the true life story of Stu Ungar,
poker,blackjack and gin rummy expert, they did not show any
blackjack
scenes but the movie is really worth a rental for sure. What a life
,what talent,the movie
protrayed the evils of gambling more than the drugs and that a darn shame
also the
guy playing Stu could have been better and did not look
like him a all.
- also a great story
on Stu in the new card player
available at 7/11,which did mention his blackjack skills.
Good idea Mayor as I now you said you seen it, they changed the name from
Stuey to high roller.

Reading people, counting cards, however it was done, there's only a little of it on display in Stuey. Here's a man whose cockiness for showing off his talents got him locked out of underground games and eventually the big rooms in Vegas. Stu's relationship with Bob Stupak (designer of Vegas' Stratosphere) began when he counted down the final 156 cards of a six-deck shuffle without missing a beat. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship where Stupak would later bankroll Stuey. An anonymous benefactor who produced ten grand for Stu to re-enter the World Series at the 11th hour after nearly a decade out of the game is hinted at, but this interesting foray into his life is whittled down in scope to encounters with Mr. Leo (nicely played by Pat Morita) and a local player named DJ (Joe LaDue, also doing an admirable job.)
