I was an aquaitance of Stu in my Vegas days. Once he bet $250,000 on one of my NFL football picks at the Mirage....and won. Then he bought me a $500 hooker at the bar. Pretty cool.
Ah! Some of us are not too old to remember! A good friend and room mate of my wife's (Fast Eddy) was taught to play gin by Stu and they were good friends in the early years in New York. Is great hearing some of his stories first hand.
The movie site has a few clips and I am wondering if this will be the definitive poker movie...
