Poker is a game for anyone and everyone who has the zeal, passion, and determination to learn. There are several upcoming poker players, who are proving that through their talent and play. One such player is MyPoker52’s Player of the Month – Krishna Gupta.
Gupta, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, is currently located in Punjab. He makes sure he is grinding on the cash tables of MyPoker52 whenever he finds time. The 21-year-old started playing with as low as ₹20 now grinds on tables with ₹8,000 buy-in. He loves challenges and is always up to play hands that challenge the player in him. We got in touch with him to understand how he achieved the milestone of playing 9,495 hands throughout the month of May. Here’s what he had to share:
I feel very very happy about being selected as the Player of the Month by MyPoker52.
It’s a very good platform to earn rewards. It has some of the best offers in the industry that enable players to win exciting rewards. I also like the leaderboards that MyPoker52 offers. They are super challenging, making it fun to play and compete. Not to forget, the customer support of the platform is simply the best.
I played for the leaderboard and that’s how I was able to put in so much volume.
I usually play from 6 PM to 12 AM post working hours. Or I just start grinding whenever I am free.
I don’t play many tournaments, I enjoy cash games more. I mostly use an aggressive strategy by betting and applying pressure on the opponents wherever appropriate.

I always challenge the players by raising the bets.
I remember this one hand where there was 20,000 in a pot. I flopped a full house with pocket aces in hand when A, T, T opened on the board. I was going strong till the turn, however, the river brought another T and my opponent flipped a four-of-a-kind with a T in hand. I had a bad beat and lost a significant amount in that hand. I remember this hand because that’s when I realised that the dynamics of the table can change really quick.
I have been playing poker for the past four years now.
It was my neighborhood friend Ajay Rawat, who introduced me to online poker. Initially, he’d insist that I play, but I never paid heed. Then one day I finally decided to try, and I have never looked back since then.
I would describe poker as ‘passion.’
I see myself winning big pots and being known through poker.
I, personally, prefer playing cash games. That is because cash games have more action as compared to tournaments. Tournaments can get slow after a point of time, but at cash tables, there’s always action, there are challenges all the time. Secondly, I can play cash games even for a lesser duration of time. Tournaments require you to invest long hours of play, which sometimes becomes difficult due to the day job and other factors. Cash games, as such, do not require you to invest long hours.
I like to play against any player like me who bets big because that challenges me and I love the action that follows.
While we conversed with him, Gupta also shared that he ardently follows the interviews done by Gutshot Magazine with the players. He added that these interviews and the stories that players reveal inspire him even more to improve his game. Well, we look forward to recognising more players like Gupta and bringing them to the forefront, thus inspiring several other upcoming poker stars in the process.
