Daniel (Jungleman) Cates - I Am High Stakes Poker [Full Interview]

[@dropyourface9966]

All of these deserve so many more views. I wish the whole poker community would get behind the channel

This feels like I am watching jungle in a personal therapy session

[@bike-czech]

Does this interviewer make a podcast?? Millions would listen to that - he is sooo goood.

[@tdfitch]

surprised he wasn't getting a massage during the interview 🤣

As a fellow autist, I love him.

I feel like I'm watching a video in my psychology class on living with high functioning Autism.

a lot of high performers are undiagnosed autists. if you want to label them.

For me it's like looking in the mirror

[@rc5989]

These interviews are fantastic!

[@AConservativeView]

He is incredibly meticulous about everything! This is what makes him such a great poker player!

[@andrewnicholas9079]

Thanks Jungle. And the interviewer. Id like to hear an interview with some of the older greats..doyle..greenstein ect.. we need those interviews before its to late.

[@gOdl1KE1337]

Great content once again. Thank you so much!

[@jessecumbee6156]

The smartest guys ever all seem weird and have bad social skills. It’s because they think totally different than 99% of us. So much more intellect

[@MrPrebuttal]

High functioning autistic INTP’s

[@nathansmith7335]

Sometimes these geniuses find it hard to put their thoughts into words. Reminds me of Elon Musk. Much love to Jungle - he is giving enough back to the world by inspiring other poker players

[@snowmonkey4863]

Elon Musk is not a genius. He's just an asshole.

@@16timesaday39 Poker has always been degenerate, and it's alive and well. There has to be losing players to pay off the winners. That's the grand illusion. It still sells. Some still find a way to win.

[@snowmonkey4863]

@@16timesaday39 Poker is not dead. My local casino will have 35 full tables of cash games tonight and a 90 minute wait list. And tomorrow night, and all afternoon Sunday, so...

[@snowmonkey4863]

@@16timesaday39 yes I agree with you that online poker is dead. If you adjust your game and play live cash at the 5/10 level it could be worth your while on a part-time basis on the weekends. I really think that former online poker's bemoaning their struggles with live cash simply are not willing to recognize that life cash is a different animal than online poker. It takes a expanded set of skills, study, the practice and experience to beat live cash.

[@snowmonkey4863]

@@16timesaday39 Yes, games tend to be more boring then back in the heyday. I think I'm one of the lucky few who lives close enough to a large cardroom so it's never the same old thing with the same old players. We've got a good mix of regs, tourists, and casual players. All ages, all races, all kinds of skill levels and bankrolls. It's still fun, win or lose most times.

[@indianafarrell4440]

Please always ask how they got into poker and how long it took to be successful etc, it is super important in poker interviews and everyone wants someone insight, would have loved to hear it on all of the podcasts

Been waiting for this 1 Thanks a bunch

[@cafferacer]

I was playing 2-5NL locally and a reg pro was like who’s your favorite player. I’m like I started in late 90s and online hit in the 2000s, Jungleman was tops with Isilder1 etc. Even if he didn’t win live and online for years n years afterwards, dudes just super entertaining and no bad vibes

[@RedHare77]

First minute into interview: I can see why he is called Jungleman.

[@DrunkOfficeTea]

It's because he was hairy in college, there's no deep meaning lol...

[@wendellcook1764]

Daniel Cates gives a much more interesting and articulate interview than Tom Dwan.

[@fgcampjr]

Is it just me or does Jungle look different in this video? Can't put my finger on it. Younger than some the older videos.

[@BigJoJoJoJo]

I cant tell if ummm or uhhh is jungles favorite word🤔🤔🤔

[@BigJoJoJoJo]

Wait I made it to the end "Uhhh my name is Daniel Cates, I am highstakes poker". Uhhhh wins

[@jonr4164]

He is definitely a lot more mature adult and a lot less ragey nerdy gamer with ultra elitist expectations (is the meta online). IMO He used to be a pretty big douchebag 10-15 yrs ago. Viktor Blom was the catalyst to re-assess his lifestyle and behaviour imo, obviously the full tilt crash, helped a lot of poker people stop being a degenerate thou. He is a good ambassador now but still in a bubble, just a much healthier one. Best of luck in the future.

[@jonr4164]

PS everyones doing chess, gaming franchises, crypto and charity.. I wish he'd push himself a bit more cos hes really insightful.

[@babaracuda3747]

Jungle, go get a good pickup coach. Seriously. A good one can you teach so much more as just picking up girls. You can lern to be be yourself. With a good one you can improve your social skills and that would keep your life to a so much higher level.

[@ref78stewart20]

I have watched most of these interviews and I notice that almost all of the poker players make very limited eye contact with the interviewer unless the interviewer is asking a question... they seem to go off into a space thats out of the norm.

[@wendellcook1764]

Visual thinkers have to do a lot of work to translate the abstract ideas into words.

[@jonnes__4657]

If we hear how many millions Jungleman has won, I guess these will not be net-winnings? .

[@nardinit]

Not necessarily but most of it is considering he's been living off poker most of his life

This proves that poker is a mere game. Games are won and lost. Ultimately, you will lose.
