Jungleman is another huge fixture online, but Cates’ name has perhaps transcended into the live scene ever more than Blom’s. He later began playing live tournaments as well. A lot less was known about the Swedish wonderkid back then, due to the anonymity of online poker, but the scarily high stakes, fast-paced style and fearlessness when it came to bluffing and huge pots helped him become very well known. His stardom grew in the late 2000s as he gained popularity from the high-stakes scene.
The best online poker players in history are the likes of Viktor ‘Isildur 1’ Blom, Dan ‘Jungleman12’ Cates and Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan.īlom is perhaps the most notable online player of the 21st century.
