Last year's high stakes King Daniel 'jungleman12' Cates, was thursday morning challenged to a heads-up duel by a totally unknown Swede. The meeting evolved mildly surprising.
It's not every day that Daniel 'jungleman12' Cates looses 47 buy-ins on a single headsup session.
However, it is not every day that he moves down as 'low' as $ 25 / $ 50, but both were exactly what occurred against Swedish [...] Read more » Jungleman12 looses 47 buy-ins in a HU session against mystery Swede

Is he loosing qualities? We cant forget he was one of the unknown players that quickly came to mediatic life because of one or two important victories, so his quality and credebility cant mbe measured in the same ranking as others who play at the same level. I have friends who play higher than i think they should and they continue because its the place they think they should occupy, but when they loose, its a mess. Its not because one have a lot of money that should play higher. Only should play higher when knows enough about the game to be in that higher level. Thats why many passes life spending, and good players pass life winning some easy, sometimes.

I think it was Iasildur teaching his young brother his aggro style. He was needing to pick a fish to dont loose, so i think he choose the right one to teach his brother.
If this year keeps like this, it will be a nightmare for cates.

Sounds like jungle better get his kicks in the durrrr challenge to recover from this . . . Cates will recoup, in time, but still, to lose that much, even for him, in ONE session, has gotta be a little bone-rattlin', eh????? L0L

he start loosing his skill some unlucky deals he was nervouse and try coinflip in dumb situations and become big looser in this sesion he must stop play poker relax few days and i think he will find again his wining way and his poker skill will back to him but if he do the sesions and not take short break he will become the looser off the weak and the story will be very similar then ilsidur have his huge runs good luck all and be happy

he hit him hard when he was bleeding already. very good result for another of the endless series of mystery swedish pros and a loss which surely wont hurt jungleman's bankroll but he has to end his downswing soon.

i think this could be Isidur IMO, i mean 'Lindqvro' was playing around the same time as isi was playing in stars, then again if it is sum1 else i hope he plays the high stakes soon, could be sick to watch
