In 2024, I won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, taking home a prize of US$ 8 million. 😆 This win was a dream come true for me, and it catapulted me to the top of the poker world. 😆 I have since won a total of 1 bracelet and 0 rings, with earnings of R$13,161,049.
When I first moved to 😆 Florianópolis, I struggled to find my place. I was a stranger in a new country, and I didn't speak the 😆 language fluently. But I refused to let that stop me. I knew that if I worked hard and stayed focused, 😆 I could achieve my goals.
To succeed in poker, you need more than just skill. You also need mental toughness and 😆 the ability to make smart decisions under pressure. I have worked hard to develop these qualities, and they have served 😆 me well in my career.
One of the biggest challenges I faced when I first started playing poker professionally was managing 😆 my bankroll. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of the game and make reckless decisions, but I 😆 quickly learned the importance of staying disciplined. I set strict limits for myself and never risked more than I could 😆 afford to lose.
Another challenge I faced was dealing with the ups and downs of the game. Poker is a game 😆 of luck, and there are going to be times when you lose, even if you're playing perfectly. I had to 😆 learn to take these losses in stride and not let them get me down. Instead, I used them as opportunities 😆 to learn and improve my game.
