Dan Cates Talks About State of High Stakes Poker Games

Maryland native Dan “jungleman” Cates is one of online poker’s legends. Online poker wasn’t getting any easier, and now they are making it even harder. I don’t think they understand how being a pro works. It’s almost impossible to play one game. I think they are just trying to get more rake, which makes sense [from their end]. The real issue is that they raised the rake by like five times. In terms of overall amount, yes, but I didn’t have all of myself. The staff wouldn’t [pick up the chips]. I try to make sure that’s enforced. You can’t let someone sit out forever. That’s really ridiculous. First, he would need to opt out from most online tracking sites, which isn’t that tough of a task. Next, he could drop down in stakes that aren’t normally tracked by sites such as Highstakesdb and just put in a bit more volume. Dwan is regularly playing on PokerStars. While it is unlikely that he is playing at 888 Poker or elsewhere, it would be a great place to lay low and play mid stakes. Tom Dwan’s bankroll is fine but he just wants out of the poker spotlight. Since 2008, he has covered the game extensively for some of the biggest names in the industry. Tom Dwan doesn't immediately jump into your mind, then it should. Dwan is one of the most respected and feared pros amongst his peers. If you asked the likes of Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius to name their toughest opponents, Tom "durrrr" Dwan would certainly be near the top of both of their lists. He started at the age of 17 with a $50 dollar bankroll. Like many other players, he started out by grinding away at Sit and Go's. Eventually, as his bankroll grew, he made the transition to cash games. What isn't similar is the degree of success that Dwan has experienced in such a short period of time. He has a multi-million dollar bankroll (some estimate his net worth to be as high as $10 million dollars) and a rabid online following. Full Tilt as well. Dwan doesn't have a sponsorship deal with any online poker room at this time, as none have offered him the type of deal that he feels like he deserves as one of the top players in the world. Having just barely turned 22 years old, "durrrr" has already racked up almost a million dollars in live tournament cashes. PokerStars Pro and team manager of the Global Poker League’s Hong Kong Stars, Celina Lin, was a guest on the popular BBC podcast The Conversation where she revealed that she uses her sex appeal to gain an advantage at the poker table.

Who knows what it really is though. From speculation, Jungle knows the most about the "missing Tom Dwan" topic. IMO is the effort he put into poker that drove his rise & the state of his brain compared to earlier in his career. Our body's weren't meant to handle that kind of pressure over an extended period of time. Tom probably knows only 1 gear that leads to him > all poker players. These are just some of the biological factors that lead to being unable to cognitively perform at a previous off the charts level. Trying to force improved performance via increasing effort will be short lived by now. Tom has to be exhausted. This is to be expected for anyone in this type of situation. I'd bet a lot of high stakes players of the same era can relate. Whether or not he has a couple mil it feels like peanuts bc he always compares it to the past (with a lot of help from the poker community). He probably knows he will never be the very best on the felt again. To Tom success = being the best poker player in the world (which also = one of the richest through poker). So he chases this via the Chinese businessman. IMO is the effort he put into poker that drove his rise & the state of his brain compared to earlier in his career.

You're the best all around poker pro (you've achieved what only a handful of players have achieved, literally, a handful), and you have nothing to prove. Tom "durrrr" Dwan has been avoiding Daniel "jungleman12" Cates at the online tables for years, even though the two players have a challenge in progress. Cates claims that Dwan is crazy and impossible to work with, while Tom prefers staying quiet about the whole issue. Tom and Peter Jetten (not sure what happend to him) were traveling on private jets through Europe, dining at Eboli in Spain for 30k dinners,renting yachts,villas,planes and so on and carrying a ridiculous entourage with him raining on them like a rapper. The entourage is gone so is Barbie. HS players are staying away. No ones calling except to try and collect debts. Privateworld keeps sharing more and more details in the topic definitely make it possible that Dwan has gotten himself into big, big trouble.
