Jungleman Poker Coach — Daniel Cates Across 9 Run It Once Packs

Back-to-back $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner (2021, 2022) · High-stakes legend · 25 Run It Once videos

Most coaches teach the game they know. Daniel “Jungleman” Cates teaches the game almost nobody else is allowed into. His Run It Once catalog is small — 25 videos — but it is spread across 9 different products, and almost every one of them is footage from a table you could not buy your way onto: $200/$400, $500/$1,000, the $25,000 10-Game Championship, and the $50,000 Poker Players Championship final table.

This page maps all 25 and tells you which product to buy for which session. Every product carries a FOREVER LICENSE — one payment, lifetime access, no subscription.

The video that matters most

There is a video in our catalog titled “$50K PPC Final Table: The Jungleman Show” and another called “Winning Another $50,000 PPC.” Those are not marketing titles. Cates won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship in 2021 and again in 2022 — back-to-back victories in what many consider the toughest mixed-game event in poker. You are watching the man narrate the tournament he actually won, twice.

Who Is Jungleman?

Daniel Cates built his reputation online as one of the most feared high-stakes heads-up and 6-max players of his generation, playing the biggest games available under the name Jungleman. He later crossed into live poker and did something almost no online specialist manages: he won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship — a rotating mixed-game event requiring competence across every discipline — in back-to-back years.

That matters for how you read his catalog. A Hold’em specialist teaching mixed games is guessing. Cates is not. His videos move between NLHE, Short Deck, PLO, 10-Game and tournaments because he genuinely plays all of them at the highest level.

TOTAL	25	9 packs

Read this table differently than the others on this site. With most coaches you buy the pack with the biggest number. With Cates, the numbers are small everywhere — so you buy the pack containing the specific session you want. That is what the column on the right is for.

🔥 What To Buy, Session By Session

🎯 Want the $50K PPC wins? “The Jungleman Show” and “Winning Another $50,000 PPC” sit in MIXED Content 2013-2025 and Elite MTT 2024

🎯 Want the nosebleeds? “He’s Back! Jungleman Plays $200/$400, $800 and $500/$1K” and the Hustler Casino games are in Elite Holdem 2024

🎯 Want him teaching rather than playing? The 4-part “Welcome to the Jungle” series — including “A Match About Possibilities,” “Using My Imagination” and “The Big Reveal” — is in Elite Holdem 2021

🎯 Want the thought process? “What Goes Through My Mind When I’m Playing” — the single most distinctive video in his catalog

🎯 Curious how he handles small stakes? “Jungle Attempts to Conquer Low Stakes” — a nosebleed pro playing down, which is unexpectedly instructive

Honest Assessment

Cates is not the coach to buy if you want a structured curriculum. He has no course, no module system, and no beginner path — 25 videos across nine products is a collection, not a syllabus. For structure, go to Phil Galfond’s Foundations or Kevin Rabichow’s The Game Plan.

What he is uniquely good for: seeing how a genuinely elite mind moves through games most people never witness, and hearing him explain mixed-game decisions at the exact event he won twice. Treat his videos as the thing you watch after you have the fundamentals, not instead of them.
