Felipe “Mojave” Ramos is a world-renowned professional poker player and a pioneering figure in the Brazilian poker explosion.

Known for his infectious positivity and his #mojaSQUAD community, Ramos has successfully transitioned from a financial markets professional to one of the most consistent high-stakes threats in the world. In 2026, he remains at the forefront of the game, coming off a career-defining performance in late 2025 and continuing his mission to grow the “sport of the mind” across the globe.

Biography: The Godfather of Brazilian Poker
Felipe’s journey began in São Paulo, where he originally worked in banking and performed as a part-time musician. After turning pro in 2008, he became the first Brazilian player to reach a WSOP final table in a $5,000 buy-in event. His influence extends far beyond his own results; he has famously coached Brazilian sports icons like Neymar Jr. and served as an ambassador for major brands including PokerStars and, currently, GGPoker. In 2026, Ramos is widely recognized as the primary bridge between the professional poker world and mainstream celebrity culture in South America.
Playing Style & Mixed Game Mastery
While many Brazilian pros are known for high-variance, aggressive “Latin” styles in No-Limit Hold’em, Ramos has distinguished himself through his Mixed Game versatility. He is one of the few South American players to excel in 8-Game, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Seven Card Stud at the highest levels. His strategic approach balances a “mental game” focus with modern GTO principles, though he often prioritizes exploitative reads based on his decades of live experience. His recent 2nd-place finish in the 2025 8-Game Mix is a testament to his status as one of the best all-around players in the game today.
