bitB Spins: Hello, beast! We are extremely happy to have you here celebrating this amazing promotion to the $100 stake. Can you tell us a few words about you and your background as a poker player? How was the start of your career?
j¢øimbra: Hello hello! Thanks for having me here. I started playing like most of us, grinding micro stakes to learn the game and the dynamics. I used to play 9-max SNG and after a while, I tried the KO format. Then I found out more about the Spin & Go format, and like most of the players do, I started playing them at $1’s.
j¢øimbra: I like the flexibility that they offer me, the traffic is very high and at that time I thought it was easy to earn 5 digits/month at 100’s (sweet illusion).
bitB Spins: What do you think is the hardest moment in the career of a poker player? Which one was in your case?
j¢øimbra: It’s probably personal. Some say it is downswings. For me, it was when I started playing $50’s on Party Poker. The beginning was very hard, it was a field full of regs, I didn’t know anyone, and the software is a joke. I was losing EV day after day and I didn’t want to move down. Fortunately, we have the best hand judge on our channel. With some study and mindset control, I was able to fight the regs after a while.
bitB Spins: Which is your strategy for improving your game?
j¢øimbra: This has always been the review of marked hands and videos that I do while playing. It helps me a lot to understand my mistakes and to fix them. Especially on Party Poker, it was very helpful since we had no nicknames in the HH.
bitB Spins: On what do you focus the most? Strategy, mindset, etc?
j¢øimbra: I’m focusing more on my strategy vs weak regs and on how to increase my profit vs fish. My mindset for the game I always considered good and I like my approach vs good/decent regs too.
bitB Spins: What is your daily poker routine?
j¢øimbra: I don’t have a pre-established routine to play. I avoid playing if I’m not feeling well and focused. I also like to keep my desk clean and with a water bottle near me.
Basically, my routine hasn’t changed much, I just started to exercise more and now I have more time for the game.
