Hi everybody,
I hope you enjoyed reading my first post on Deltin Poker Tournament by Adda52 at Goa. Today, we are going to take a deep dive into the life of a poker player Nikita Luther. Before I tell you all that we spoke about, let’s get to know her better!
About Nikita Luther
Nikita Luther created history by winning a gold bracelet at The World Series of Poker (WSOP), Las Vegas this year. She beat a field of 1032 players and made the country proud by winning a title that many in the poker industry regard as an equivalent of “Poker’s Olympic Gold”. She is India’s no.1 female Poker player and the 23rd woman in history (in 48 years of the WSOP) to hold a WSOP Bracelet.
Her stellar talent for the mind game has achieved great laurels for her game with a cumulative of USD $218,554 tournament earnings in the past 2 years. Nikita is the only woman to have won a gold in 2018 from 123,000 entries, from 88+ countries in WSOP, Las Vegas.
The life of a professional poker player by Nikita Luther
Nikita represents India’s largest Poker website Adda52.com and is working towards inspiring, guiding and encouraging Indian woman to take up professional poker.
She says, “I first started playing free online poker at college to understand the game. I kept learning new things, watching videos and mastering the game. I began my foray in the world of online poker with small amounts of money”
Nikita is a role model for many and she is passionate about transforming people’s perception about the game. She wants to break the myths around poker and prove that it is not a game of chance but a game of skill which involves intricate concepts of mathematics, probability, game theory, strategy and psychology.
“I may not have a regular 9 to 5 job but I work hard on my game. I exercise, eat right and meditate to improve my focus. Before playing any game, it is important for me to be in the right state of mind. Poker requires great skill and concentration”.

We remember the day seven years back when were travelling in a Mumbai local trying hard to come up withe a name for our blog when struck us; Khushboo was always called a Jack of all Trades. The name stuck (with a slight modification, of course) and Minni was born. Six years, over 100 collaboration, lakhs of readers and several awards later; our love for blogging continues to grow. We continue to write on an eclectic range of topics from the funniest autorickshaw signs that we have spotted in Mumbai to how to bathe an elephant. We are true blue Munni of all Trades and we hope to continue on this joyride with our fellow Munnies and Munnas.
