Jungleman gets mad and throws chips at another poker player

[Poker Orifice]

Who would want to sit at the table with that clown?????

Considering he's one of the best in the world.... I wouldn't want to sit at his table... ever (unless it meant I'd made it to some final table in a live tourney or something)

If chips ever hit me after someone throwing them across the table like he did, I'd grab the ones that hit me & wing them back as hard as I could.

Seriously? OMG that is soooo bada55! Wow! Nice!

goes to show live poker is rigged IMO

 

[theRaven68]

he is kind of unfriendly and autistic person,

 

[Sil3ntness]

His nickname is Jungleman, of course he's going to act like an ape and throw chips around. One day he's truly going to snap at the poker table. Hopefully they will catch him snapping on film at a main event.

its crazy how some people act and get at live poker tables . one time i had a guy almost attack me . had to have security walk me to my car .

 

[trekmaster]

Throw chips at the wrong one and they may throw some fist back.Wouldnt make that mistake to many times.

I don't know for sure, but there's a pretty good chance this was on camera - they film a lot of parts of the Aussie Millions for broadcast, and this was in one of the high-buyin events that they're likely to cover

que louco kkkk

I could give a crap about Gates and his mental situation. My only question is if there is any video of this. I'd love to see this complete mental breakdown at the table. I get enraged by bad beats occasionally but I never act out in a violent manner. If you can't take a deep breath, hell fall to the floor like you've been shot, you need to quit playing. Throwing chips, ripping cards, screaming like a maniac...not acceptable!

 

[woohoo sue]

i have a couple smashed keyboards and a flying mouse, leftovers from some badbeats.

saving them to make sculpture of later?

please don't ever make me like that in poker ...I would have to quit...anything...ANYTHING ..that provokes you to violence more than once....STOP DOING! STOP DATING! JUST STOP!

:boxing: paid for by the community of input devices against output violence.

[woohoo sue]

Wow, what a poor sport, I get the frustration, but a public tantrum is a bit much.

I think that is why most of us play on line....we need the spouses to home cam us sometime.

um BTW too cute of an avatar there poof!

If I were sitting at a table with this moron (or one like him) I would do anything and everything to push him into tilt. Sounds like it would not take much. I have done it before, and it's really something to watch. It only took a few well chosen words to tilt him and take all the chips he had.

It really is true what they say - "there is nothing easier than taking money from someone who is mad at you"; they often cannot recover, and will make "I'm going to kick his azz" decisions instead of smart ones.

Agreed.

He definitely deserved to have his ass kicked for that. And if he had thrown chips at me I would be a little pissed if the floor didn't kick him out of the casino for that crap.

 

[JamaicanKid]

That's quite a breakdown..........He is very lucky the other guy has great self control.....could have been one hell've of a old western 'gun' fight.

 

[infotunes]

Is it not the job of the dealer to give the chips to the other?

I had a good laugh at this statement.

 

[CSYA14]

This attitude has no place in poker. Ban the player for good!

 

[braveboat]

It's quite unfortunate anytime someone allows their emotions to overrun their sensibilities, particularly when they resort to insulting or assaulting another player.

I would hope that Mr. Cates incurred some sort of penalty. Without consequences, bad behavior has no incentive to be checked.

We all lose our cool at some point, but not all of us allow that to become an excuse to abuse other people.

 

[timfbmx]

I <3 the Jungleman

His interview on chicagojoeys youtube is pretty good check it out if you haven't.

 

[faraon4ik46]

Still quite controversial player! My opinion is that it is not the right thing !

 

[vinsanity]

I want the people at the table to stay. And I want spectators to join our sport

 

[limpnfold88]

im pretty sure jungleman is/will be a serial killer lol

 

[only_bridge]

He should play heads up vs Facesitting, then he would think twice before he threw a tantrum.

 

[zkel1980]

Will there be any consequences for this kind of behaviour!???

 

[limpnfold88]

No because everyone knows he's just a socially awkward freak so they don't take it too seriously lol
