PokerBaazi’s Indian Poker Masters Sees Vikram Mishra Emerge Victorious

National Poker Series India 2023 podium finisher, Vikram Mishra from Darbhanga, Bihar clinched the top spot at PokerBaazi’s coveted Indian Poker Masters tournament and won a prize pool of ₹2,62,000. Vikram solely dedicates his success in his professional poker tenure to “taking the right decisions in crucial moments, putting consistent effort and always bringing you A game.”

Reflecting on his victory and his poker aspirations, Vikram Mishra stated, “In addition to building skill, poker is also a game of math, strategy and a positive mindset. While it might seem simple and is riddled with myths and social stigma, poker is a strategy-first game and requires constant learning and unlearning. Securing a feat in the Indian Poker Masters tournament has been an exhilarating experience. I hope my story resonates with aspiring poker players and encourages them to begin their poker journeys.”

Vikram is an ardent believer in the power of consistency and respecting the game. An engineer by profession, Vikram set a course to become a professional poker player in 2015. At first, he indulged in quick matches with his friends and gradually developed a strong interest in the game.

Congratulating Vikram on his winnings, Navkiran Singh, CEO and Co-Founder of Baazi Games, shared, “Vikram’s journey showcases how poker is now also prevalent, respected and recognised beyond metropolitan areas. His victory exemplifies the potential for determined individuals to attain significant achievements and build prosperous poker careers. I would also like to applaud Vikram’s efforts in demystifying the social stigmas around poker and encouraging more players to inculcate a deeper understanding of the sport.”

Offering valuable tips for novice poker players, Vikram underlines the importance of being fully engaged in the game and thoroughly studying all its facets, including the associated risks. He also encourages players to start from basics and follow bankroll management in addition to continuously evaluating their performance to ensure better gameplay in the future.
