Jungle is gloriously odd
I think he’s a very smart guy that pretends to be dumb
A lot of people who are extremely intelligent in things like math or science often are pretty reserved with their emotions as they approach life in a very analytical way. I think that's the case here with Jungle.
@@Bowling_Dude he’s never really made a secret or a philosophy about his neurodivergence, if only we could all be so unapologetic and successful 😘
Jungle Musk
@@JasonCannon-th3pc he's not pretending anything. he's just doing him and doesn't care at all wether you think he seems dumb or not.
Yes he’s a genius, yes he’s different, but most importantly he clearly has a good heart and that’s why people genuinely like him.
Great Guy
good take.
Wow I wasn’t expecting that level of empathy and genuineness from jungle 👏
What an interesting and likeable chap.
Tax man would love to hear more about the cash game
This is a fantastic Interview.
Great guy.
I meet him in Brazil very nice Guy, gave him a GL chip from Macao 🎉
Best all-around poker player in the world
My favorite player of all time
I like his ideas...
We love Jungle man ! Would love to play head up Pai Gow poker against Jungle
Mushrooms or what 😂
I am trying to guess myself lol. Something good for sure.
I really love the Jungle, he's such a great guy. The world is a far more interesting place with him in it. Thanks for this podcast.
That's D cat, a legendary jungleman
this video of him just made me change my whole image of him..he’s a good dude besides that he b dressing all crazy
Jungle is definitely wired different.
Great player
he is 34 but no one would be shocked if he was 54
He does appear much older than 34, at least very late 40s.
He looks older than 34 but c'mon 54 is absurd
just needs to cut his hair short and shave and he look fine. Scruffy balding men always look older. Not like he has gray hair and wrinkles.
Man this guy is such a genius. He gave the most long winded explanation of a credit score for poker players I’ve ever heard, because he knows he’s way more intelligent than the average person and feels like he needs to make a complex idea very simple…as many geniuses do. 🐐
Jungle is great
The reason people don’t like others to know where they play is probably a safety thing even if they don’t realize it I think 🤔 the jungle is the man 🎉
I wish Jungle was my dad
Legend
Ask him. Worst case, he says no.
You want an absent autistic father?
He is ,looks like you
I am 42 but this guy looks much much older..
But really nice fella🙂
I never expected him to play Fire Emblem, good taste!
He reminds me of Jack Nicholson.
Really? I don't see that, but I'm curious to what about him reminds you of Jack? The fact that they're both somewhat odd?
He's pretty much the opposite of both Nicholsons characters and real life persona. Nicholson represents impulse driven narcissism with a penchant for violence and snark and levels of smugness ordinary people can't concieve. Jungleman seems like the opposite of that to me.
@@billj4525 Hard to understand his thinking.
@@Will_Moffett AHAHA, brilliant descrption
Good luck finding a way to make it fun long-term for "recreationals" to lose. There will always be a cap on how many people there are who are willing to lose money playing at a disadvantage.
i likke it
He is not only high on life
I would suggest an arbiter that has been a lawyer and also a poker player. In arbitration the arbiter hears both sides of a case and makes a decision that includes summary of the case and findings of fact. It can be notarized and then held by a 5 player Board of Directors elected by peers. The peer group would be players who voluntarily join to police the game.
yeah he was loving life raking £25 per hand in london private games
I’m prob gonna have half a turkey sandwich and not gonna toast the bread. Just a fold over with cheese and some miracle whip.
Miracle whip 😢😢 dont do the sandwich that injustice.
@@Joseph-ny5rr I'm usually a mayo guy but Miracle Whip is good too.
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
Jungle stuck in the "Best Poker player= inteligent in Everything" mode... He isbtrying to hard but I love it
A chapter on "mindfulness in poker." Apparently Cates' mindfulness betrayed him when he mussed Airball's hundreds of thousands in chips all over the table in that stream from the Lodge.
How is life in the gambling jungle?
what about players who lose other peoples cash to like multi millions
What happened to him after he combed his hair?
He didn't look like he came out of being in the jungle for a while ? Cates is an awesome player and great guy
Jungle, call it the Grey List. Also use Black List for the real bad.
On the spectrum, but in a good way (if you know what I mean)
I was never diagnosed, but I am eccentric, too.
Is Cates trained in anything?
winning millions in cash games hahaha
There is to much hidden money to have a accountability in money owed due taxes
Hard to see the diff between millionaire poker pro n homeless...
$100 an hour lol
Semi-rich person thinks $100/hr is nothing. Ultra-rich offer $12/hr max. Funny how that works.
'Poker helps to create a middle class'......... wow.. It's good that he talks about society but it's not all gold
I wondered about that too, then I thought about all the jobs that card rooms provide. I;m not sure whether it's a net negative or net positive overall in terms of raising people into a middle class, but if you project (hope) that most poker income comes from people who can afford to lose, then it stands to reason that the jobs provided do help create middle class jobs.
Mushrooms
He's not " all there" is he, nice guy though.
"Don't we want everyone to win"
Nope. There are only a small percentage of us who want that. And probably the only reason I want it is not because Im a great guy but because I realize that, in the nuclear age, it's either we all win or we all die. Wanting everyone to win is the moral and rational position.
how were any of Dwans bluffs courageous or valid if he was using money borrowed from people and having no intention of paying it back?
"No intention of paying it back?" Where did you hear that? The issue with Cates is not finishing a heads-up challenge where he fell far behind. Then with slow paying when an agreed upon settlement was made. I haven't heard he borrowed money and refused to pay it back.
He's probably being fronted the money (by people running the game, maybe) and the only way he profits is if he wins.
@@GRice999you’ve obviously got your head in the sand if you support Dwan and aren’t aware of his debt situation.
@@JasonJohnContos Support Dwan? When did I do that? And how did you come to that asinine conclusion?
Is he on drugs?
I watch him and know about him. But is this dude on drugs , odd , or a combination of both?
Odd only.
He is an amazing poker player but absolutely NO business sense. Clueless.
The Elon Musk of poker!
Does he dress like a homeless guy on purpose? He should also fire his hair stylist!
It is summer in Vegas, and they are currently breaking records for the temperature. Dressing that way he gets a pass from actual street beggars they think he is 'Staff.'
Did you listen to the interview? I feel like someone who thinks the way he does is not going to care much about dressing well or his hair. I mean he could, but I have my doubts.
@@billj4525 the upside is you save time and you don't have to deal with people like the original commenter - who are superficial to the point of being judgmental
he used to be best dressed in poker lol.
Talking abouf poker debt for 30 mins yawn who cares. Mosnt debts originate from greddy backers
Most debt originate from a ton of shitty broke "pros"
Most backers never make a dime from these losers.
@tommyfu9271 yeah because of terrible staking deals that leave players stuck in makeup until they bail out of the "deal"
@@ww2079 how is that terrible? The backer ends up losing money not the tournament "pro". It's a good deal for the so called" pro".
@tommyfu9271 yeah they just spend tons of time making zero money with tons more time Committed to getting out of the makeup
@@ww2079 if they're good and win they make money, if they get buried they break even as opposed to losing tons of money if they were playing on their own time.
95 percent of these backed "pro" are losers wasting their lives who need to get jobs.
This guys talk in circles. Just play poker dude.
Jungleman has yet to discover what a comb is used for. Why is is important too know who plays at what casino? Who cares? I couldn't watch more than 4 minutes as both these guys were putting me asleep.
Bye
I like Dan but some of his philosophy borders on socialism.
Good. It's not a dirty word in Europe
Do you have a special ripple that leaks when you get excited about different poker players? If so, what will happen if you interview phil ivey?
It's so crazy., I obviously see that jungle is a genius-nut case. But I just can't get over that stain in your opening segment.
*stain on your shirt
Nice fat stain on your shirt! Real professional
That is the microphone!
