From $6K Loss to $25K Win: My Poker Comeback Journey

Hello everyone,

I’m Arjun, 28, from Bangalore, India. Two years ago, life threw me a curveball divorce after a love marriage left me stressed and searching for an escape. I turned to online poker, but it didn’t go well at first. Lost $6,000 in a month chasing hands I shouldn’t have. Bankroll management? Non-existent. 😅

But I didn’t give up. I studied the game hard GTO, bluffing, everything. Fast forward to 2024, I entered a big online tourney and won $25K! Now, I’m known as the “King of Poker” in my circles. The wins funded a new life: a car, an apartment, and recently, a happy remarriage to Nisha. Life’s good now!

Today’s date is Sept 21, 2025, 3:41 PM IST, and I’m back to share my goals.

My plan:
MTT Bankroll: Start with 100 Buy-in for $5K & Under (10€-50€)

Cash Games: Build up to N1400, aiming for 20 Buy-in Up / 10 Buy-in Down

Goal: Post regularly with updates, stay disciplined, and maybe hit a million someday!

Any tips for managing swings or N1400 strategies? Looking forward to your advice. GL at the tables!
Cheers,
Arjun
