While the poker game has been out and established in a lot of countries, famous card games like poker are still are in their infant stages. Part of the big reason why the poker game hasn’t been the most popular has mainly been because of the “gambling” element to it. As a result it’s been tolerated but largely frowned upon in general places, forcing these card games to appear in pockets in urban areas.


A lot of the reason for that is the fact people lack knowledge about the skill elements that poker brings to the table. In fact the poker strategy is the reason why poker is one of the highest stake mind games out there.


But despite all of that, there are many poker pros in India. Of course this is based solely on earnings since a lot of people say the success stems from the money a player makes. Below is that list.
