Thanks for the link! Excellent read. Cates seems like a pretty cool person.

Really impressed with how well-written this article is. So unusual to see a poker article in a non-poker news source that makes extensive and apt use of poker terminology, let alone captures a poker persona in a realistic yet sympathetic light.

Article in the New York Times on jungleman12, Daniel Cates, who, amongst other things, took on Isildur1 a year and half back. Nice article for the uninitiated on the world of high stakes poker.

Thanks for posting that article, it was very interesting. Amazing to see so many young people having millions of dollars. It's also amazing what the article mentioned about how an 18 year that multi-tables can earn the same amount of experience of a long live-careered pro. Losing a few bucks in a few minutes feels bad for me, I can't imagine how losing millions of dollars over night or in a few months must feel.

Duplicate thread but an amazing article nonetheless. It's got to be tough to lose millions of dollars in the matter of minutes. I particularly like how he views the money as points rather than money, quite interesting point of view.

This is excellent on numerous levels

Enjoyed. One small bone to pick is stating how Isildur lost so much to Brian Hastings, but not mentioning that Hastings cheated it out of him. I think that's kind of important to note any time that story is mentioned.
