February 14, 2011, 5:00 pm (9 months ago) Sol Poker (www.solpoker.in) is a fresh, professional poker room launched by young, energetic Professionals who have combined experience of 15 years in poker industry. Poker has been in Goa for 4 years and is pulling players from across India. Having played at most poker rooms in Vegas, Macau, London and around the world, we thought of bringing that experience to Goa; this is exactly what our poker room offers Madhav Gupta (Maddy), COO. The idea of Sol Poker was incepted a few years back, but its promoters waited till the time was right and they could leverage their experience of Poker of many years. Our Poker Room is named after “Sun”, or “Sol” in Latin-the star at the center of the Solar System. As Goa has positioned itself as a central Gaming and entertainment Destination, the Sol Poker room fulfils the gap in providing a world class poker facility in the heart of Goa, quoted Maddy.

Sol Poker plans to bring more poker players from all across India by launching various marketing policies, such as Rake free days and free tutorials on how to play Poker. “It’s not about just bringing players that are already in Goa to play poker -- the idea is to bring fresh new players who are very comfortable with there home games and there friends. Thus Sol poker will arrange a game at player requests with whatever blinds and format they feel comfortable says Maddy. There are numerous poker tournament brands trying to make their mark in this industry such as IPS, IPC, Aces Unlimited and we are sure some of them will be as or more prestigious as a brand than WSOP, EPT, WPT in the years to come. “We have seen a 200 percent growth in players during our IPS tournaments in less than a year and massive following from them for our tourney calendar. We will do our best to maintain our motto of "We Have The Best Hand !!!". Bharat Agarwalla, Director IPS.
