Yuri Cariry 'Mr. Cariry' Lira: At some point after hit 100s spins, I started to get boring, and something that brought me some inspiration was start to teach brazilian guys to play the game. They are like a light to me in a empty of purpose. Although I'm doing very well in the spins, I prefered to use this extra time to focus in develop my game and teach people to keep improving; this option seemed much more meaningfull to me than just print money.
