He has combined No-Limit Hold'em success with coaching through mojave.poker and an active Twitter presence under @FelipeMojave.

Introduction and Identity
Felipe Tavares Ramos is a Brazilian professional poker player known for results in both online and live tournaments, with a particular focus on No-Limit Hold'em. He also competes and communicates under the alias Felipe Mojave Ramos, a name tied to his social media handle @FelipeMojave and his coaching website mojave.poker. His career has been tracked in international poker databases, where he appears as one of Brazil's more active tournament competitors.
Tournament Record and Earnings
Ramos's live tournament record shows steady growth over time. A snapshot from late June 2025 listed his total earnings at $4,031,183 with 222 cashes; his most recent cash at that point was $25,918 on 28-Jun-2025. By early August, the database updated his total to $4,048,866 from 229 cashes, with the latest cash being $4,369 on 07-Aug-2025. A subsequent update reflecting December 2025 results placed his lifetime earnings at $4,652,766, with 232 cashes and a latest cash of $188,900 on 11-Dec-2025. In other words, within roughly half a year, Ramos recorded about $620,000 in additional earnings and ten more cashes. The December score, worth $188,900, stands out as his largest mentioned cash during that period.
His existing player biography also places him in the context of the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, with several in-the-money finishes in international events. Repeated deep runs to final tables are cited as evidence of his competitive skill. The exact titles of his biggest events are not included in the available records, but the multimillion-dollar total across more than 230 cashes indicates that he has consistently navigated large tournament fields.
2025 Results and Recent Cashes
The available records offer a clear outline of Ramos's 2025 activity. On 28-Jun-2025, he added $25,918 to his career total. On 07-Aug-2025, he cashed for $4,369. The final update of the year, on 11-Dec-2025, showed a $188,900 cash. Those three distinct paying results, combined with the jump in cashes from 222 to 232, suggest he played a full schedule in the second half of 2025. The late-year score in particular indicates that he retained his form heading into 2026. Even the smaller cash on August 7 kept his name in the live-result updates and underscored his ability to find payouts in a variety of events.
Playing Approach
Observers of Ramos's game describe him as an aggressive, attacking player who understands the value of position. He tends to apply pressure with continuation bets after the flop, using his range advantage to make opponents uncomfortable. At the same time, he is patient during deep-stack phases, waiting for the right spots rather than forcing overly wide confrontations. One of his key lessons is that aggression should not be confused with recklessness: betting frequencies need to be adjusted to opponent ranges and board texture. His post-flop processing, especially when defending and counterattacking from out of position, is considered a strong part of his game and a useful study point for aspiring players.
Personality, Labels, and Online Brand
Ramos has a certain level of recognition in the Brazilian poker community, where fans have sometimes called him the "Brazilian Tiger." He is known for a relatively low-key personality, preferring to let his results at the table speak rather than seeking constant public attention. Outside of tournament days, he engages with fans through Twitter. Under the handle @FelipeMojave, he has posted in both Portuguese and English. In one set of posts from about seven years ago, he announced that registrations were open for his poker course, writing "Minha galera! Estão abertos os registros para o meu Curso de Poker" and inviting followers to visit mojave.poker. He also used the playful Portuguese phrase "Rapeizess, querem aprender pokerzinho?" — roughly "Hey guys, want to learn a little poker?" On the flip side, he shared the frustrations of tournament life in English: "It is not a good day when you bust from the best poker event of the year in the first day (for whatever reason)." Those glimpses into his personality show a player who mixes teaching, humor, and competitive frustration.
Impact and Legacy
Ramos's results appear in live-poker databases that track more than 960,000 players and support major ranking systems such as the Global Poker Index. With $4,652,766 in career earnings and 232 cashes on record, he stands among Brazil's more successful tournament professionals. The combination of consistent results, a recognizable "Mojave" brand, and an active coaching presence gives him influence beyond his own winnings. By making his course available through mojave.poker and engaging directly with fans, he has helped grow the game in the Brazilian poker community. His low-key off-table demeanor contrasts with a fierce competitive image, and together those qualities have made him a respected figure on the international poker scene.
