Claiming Victories Like A Boss – In Conversation With Laksh Pal Singh

The Indian poker fraternity is brimming with talented players, who are defying all odds and setting newer benchmarks in the poker industry. One such talented player is Laksh Pal Singh. This young gun became a poker pro and has not looked back ever since. Singh has been nailing titles and achieving remarkable feats and leaving everyone awestruck.

The former India Online Poker Championship (IOPC) 2021 The Crown Main Event winner had an incredible year. Singh started 2021 by shipping the IOPC January 2021 Main Event title. Since then, the poker pro has maintained his form on the virtual poker felts. We are not surprised to know that Singh has been chosen as the PokerStars player of the month for his winning streak and impressive gameplay throughout the month.

We connected with Singh to know more about his strategies, future plans and some fun facts about his poker journey. Excerpts from the interview.
