Today I would like you to meet Andres, aka “AndRos”. He lives in the same city, where Che Guevara and the world-famous football star Lionel Messi were born too. Of course, Andres is crushing it!
What was your reason for you to start playing poker?
Why did you join BPC?
How would you describe your experience in the BPC program?
I’ll summarize my experience this way:
It was the period of the biggest growth in my life (a process which still continues), as a poker player, and as a human being. I have learned soo many things, not just to beat the poker tables, but to have a more wonderful life.
Having a strong mindset is very important to be a long term winner at the tables and outside of them and coaches like Ivan aka “m1ndctrl” helped me to improve a lot in this area.
Where do live right now and how is it for you to live there?
I live in Rosario, Argentina, the city of revolutionary “Che Guevara” and the best football (soccer) player of the world Lionel Messi.
Placed on the banks of the Paraná river (one of the biggest in South America) it is a cool place to live in. I love to train outdoors here. Rosario is also known as one of the cities with the most beautiful women by the people who come to visit the city. I have to say that it is true.
How do you spend your free time?
Besides Poker, I train almost every day a discipline called calisthenics, which is done in bars and parallels, usually with the body weight and can be done outdoors so you can be more in touch with nature. I love that.
I also go to the gym to do more heavy lifting of compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench press, which can’t be done outdoors. Then on my free time, I like to read books about self-improvement, or I meditate.
What is your motivation for the daily grind? Do you have tips for others?
Always keep in mind your WHYS, because they are the fuel to keep you moving when the hard times come, and they’re gonna come!
So it is better to be well prepared when that happens, write them down, repeat them daily, focus on moving towards them with each step you make and when you doubt about what you’re doing, close your eyes and remember them.
Hard times have also the potential to make you grow a lot when you overcome them, be the one who overcomes the problems, don’t let them overcome you, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.
Do you have a special hand or poker moment you would like to share?
