Sofia, the first question is simple and really complex at the same time: why do you play poker? What is exciting about it?

I’m very competitive and I’ve always loved different kinds of games… I love the excitement in poker and I think it’s really fun.

So you play more for competition than money?

In the beginning I played mostly for the competition. But then when I started winning it became even more fun. After that I decided to play poker full-time and I really loved it.

Would you prefer to win the Main Event or 50 million from the lottery?

50 million from the lottery :)

You are playing full-time as an ambassador for 888poker. What does it mean to you to be an ambassador and how do you connect with your fans?

I love being an ambassador for 888poker. It’s a great company and I really enjoy playing on 888poker. They have lots of cash game tables and good tournaments. I’m continuing to travel around the world playing live poker and I really love it.

You use Twitter and Facebook a lot, right? To keep in touch with your fans and give them your updates?

Yes, I do. I think it’s a lot of fun. There are a lot of players following me and I follow a lot of players, too. 888poker has a very tight team of ambassadors and we have a lot of fun together, we are supporting each other. It’s great that we can connect with each other on Twitter and Facebook.

What do you think of the RankingHero project and our mission to bring the industry together?

It’s a great project. It’s nice that you collect all players’ results and sum up all the information. It’s fun to compare different players. Yeah.. it’s awesome!

You are playing full-time now. How do you like the lifestyle? What are the advantages and why do you like it?

Poker brings a lot of freedom. You can decide how to spend your day and play whenever you want. I just love the lifestyle. And the fact that there is so much travelling, I love that.

And last question, which is your favorite casino and which is the best live poker destination?

It’s a hard question. There are so many nice places!.. I think I would say Barcelona. Because the climate is so nice there, it’s a great location with a lot of beaches, I love Barcelona!
