Adda52 Game Ambassador Arun Sriram said, “Learning the game of poker is quite popular amongst students in Western countries, hence some of the top-ranked international institutes promote learning through poker to their students to help them understand real-world challenges and find solutions using analytics and logic. Through poker, we develop the understanding of probability, the appetite for risk vs reward, how to control our emotions, manage our finances, and most importantly how to focus on making the best decisions with the information we have – all key essentials for students who will be exposed to the professional and competitive world in due course.”
Speaking about their experience, Vishesh Punia, Cultural Head, 2022-23 Cultural Council, DTU, said “Poker is a skill-based game, where each move on the table requires sharp acumen. And, it was well articulated by the Adda52 Game Ambassadors, who mentored us about the basics of the game. The entire college had a wonderful time and the students are excited to explore poker as a viable career option.”
“We are glad to have Adda52.com deliver the insightful poker masterclass in our college. It was an outstanding experience to engage with sharp and innovative poker professionals. The Adda52 Game Ambassadors clarified every single query of the students around poker & guided them to become a better player.” said Atharva Tayade, Aavhan- Overall Coordinator, IIT Bombay.
