Jungleman12 Video Interview – From the Beginnings to the Durrrr Challenge

In this 39 minute long interview made by PokerStatic Daniel &rsquo;jungleman12&rsquo; Cates talks about the beginnings of his career, the ongoing durrrr challenge and his life as a poker player.<br />
author-picture Admin - 2010. September 08.

Jungleman12 is one of the most popular poker players of our time, which is quite understandable, as he managed to take a superb start in the durrrr challenge. Currently leading by $692,000, jungleman12 has all the chances to make the most out of durrrr’s magnificent odds provided in the challenge.

Currently aged 20, Cates started playing online poker in 2008, and moved rapidly from heads-up NLHE $0.25/$0.50 to $25/$50 in just 10 months. Although he did not have a sufficient bankroll (only around 40 buy-ins), things went quite well for Cates, although he had some serious downswings (like losing $500K to Isildur1 in just one day).

This year, he has made more than $2.2 million at the online tables, taking the third place on this year’s profit list, with only Phil Ivey and Tom ’durrrr’ Dwan ahead of him.
