jungleman12 on the Beginnings of his Career and the durrrr Challege
In a comprehensive video interview, jungleman12 speaks about the beginnings of his career, the current durrrr challenge and explains how he managed to climb up the limits so quickly.
Daniel Cates, better known as jungleman12, has caused quite a stir recently. After the third session of the second durrrr challenge, he and Tom Dwan have already played 7,000 of the 50,000 hands. jungleman12 got off to an excellent start and is currently in the lead with $692,000.
The 20 year-old player started playing seriously around 2008 and made it from No Limit $0.25/$0.50 to $10/$20 in a matter of months, reaching $100,000 in online winnings by the end of the year according to PokerTableRatings. In 2009 he went on to play $25/$50 and reached the $1 million milestone.
So far this year, he made more than $2.25 million at the online poker tables, which is the third highest profit in 2010, only below Phil Ivey and Dwan.
It hasn't always been like this. In this comprehensive video interview, Daniel speaks about the beginnings of his career, aggressive bankroll management, the right mindset, how he went from a losing to a winning player and the current durrrr challenge.

I think if you are going to promote this video then you should really be linking to where the content came from#2

#1 Should we link every time to YouTube.com when we embed a YouTube Video? :)There are so many ads in this video and I wrote in the news text from which page it is, should be pretty clear now.

Jonas, i read this article on thunderbird via the RSS feed. No video showed. Yeah, it's a thunderbird problem, but how many RSS clients are not showing the video as well?#5

Thanks Jonas. I just feel that people should be aware where content comes from because they will be interested and sometimes it's not always obvious (obviously to the extent where you don't damage your business model by linking to a competitor)jax3000 I will test the RSS feed now but I am going to assume that Thunderbird doesn't have any Flash support.
