A lot of people who are extremely intelligent in things like math or science often are pretty reserved with their emotions as they approach life in a very analytical way. I think that's the case here with Jungle.
Man this guy is such a genius. He gave the most long winded explanation of a credit score for poker players I’ve ever heard, because he knows he’s way more intelligent than the average person and feels like he needs to make a complex idea very simple…as many geniuses do. 🐐
Good luck finding a way to make it fun long-term for "recreationals" to lose. There will always be a cap on how many people there are who are willing to lose money playing at a disadvantage.
He's pretty much the opposite of both Nicholsons characters and real life persona. Nicholson represents impulse driven narcissism with a penchant for violence and snark and levels of smugness ordinary people can't concieve. Jungleman seems like the opposite of that to me.
I would suggest an arbiter that has been a lawyer and also a poker player. In arbitration the arbiter hears both sides of a case and makes a decision that includes summary of the case and findings of fact. It can be notarized and then held by a 5 player Board of Directors elected by peers. The peer group would be players who voluntarily join to police the game.
A chapter on "mindfulness in poker." Apparently Cates' mindfulness betrayed him when he mussed Airball's hundreds of thousands in chips all over the table in that stream from the Lodge.
I wondered about that too, then I thought about all the jobs that card rooms provide. I;m not sure whether it's a net negative or net positive overall in terms of raising people into a middle class, but if you project (hope) that most poker income comes from people who can afford to lose, then it stands to reason that the jobs provided do help create middle class jobs.
wants to start crypto "value safety in financial assets more" I read it he lost big in crypto and thinking about doing a rugpull in the next crypto bubble
"Don't we want everyone to win" Nope. There are only a small percentage of us who want that. And probably the only reason I want it is not because Im a great guy but because I realize that, in the nuclear age, it's either we all win or we all die. Wanting everyone to win is the moral and rational position.
"No intention of paying it back?" Where did you hear that? The issue with Cates is not finishing a heads-up challenge where he fell far behind. Then with slow paying when an agreed upon settlement was made. I haven't heard he borrowed money and refused to pay it back.
It is summer in Vegas, and they are currently breaking records for the temperature. Dressing that way he gets a pass from actual street beggars they think he is 'Staff.'
Did you listen to the interview? I feel like someone who thinks the way he does is not going to care much about dressing well or his hair. I mean he could, but I have my doubts.
@@billj4525 the upside is you save time and you don't have to deal with people like the original commenter - who are superficial to the point of being judgmental
Jungleman has yet to discover what a comb is used for. Why is is important too know who plays at what casino? Who cares? I couldn't watch more than 4 minutes as both these guys were putting me asleep.
@@ww2079 if they're good and win they make money, if they get buried they break even as opposed to losing tons of money if they were playing on their own time. 95 percent of these backed "pro" are losers wasting their lives who need to get jobs.
@@spleeeen4it It would be if they knew freedom. You know like we used to have before the government grew and the media quit telling both sides of the story.
