Aditya Sushant (cover image) aka ‘Donkab0mber’ is a Team PokerGuru pro with impressive exploits both Live and Online. He became the 1st ever “India Poker Champion” in 2010 when he took down the IPC Main Event in Dec last year and has recently been on a heater taking down several online tournaments in quick succession. He took time out of his daily grinding schedule to talk to us about his online play!

The past couple of months must have been very exciting since you have been winning tournaments every week? Tell us your secret 😛

What can I say? Firstly, I wish it was every tourney that I played but it isn’t lol. Hmm, I guess a lot has to do with the fact that I am running better than usual. Also, I would attribute it to the fact that I’ve upped my volume a lot since the last month. I’ve also basically formed a kinda schedule where I end up playing almost the same set of tournies everyday. I guess that could have something to do with it or maybe it’s cause of the 5k USD cheque I sent to Stars Head Office 😉 Ur guess is as good as mine 😀

I just saw you have been ranked 750th online. How does it feel to be ranked and railed by so many community members online?

It feels great obviously. It’s nice to see that my efforts are paying off and it gives me a sense of pride that I have been able to improve my standing this much in such a short span of time. Recognition of any kind is always nice.

What measures are you taking to improve and maintain your ranking?

Nothing specific to be honest. I’m just grinding as much as I can as regularly as possible. The outcome would just be proportional to the volume I put in. I don’t really worry about improving and maintain rankings. Money’s what matters and that’s all I try to make lol

Have u changed your game, because winning a tournament has just become like winning a Sit & Go for you?

Lol. My game has changed over the months I think. My fundamentals are a lot better now, I tend to pick spots better, hand reading has improved, etc etc.

Are you feeling lucky these days or you just getting it all from your lucky chair? Tell us more about your chair? Lol

A bit of both I guess..alright coming to the chair which u always keep talking about. I think it’s a bit overrated esp by u..lol. Its just this ordinary dinner table chair that somehow has become as famous as me if not surpassed me 😛

What are your views on the launch of the PokerGuru Tour?

I’m very excited about the launch of the PokerGuru Tour. It’s a first in India – the first RAKE FREE tournament series, the first tournament series in India to get a tie up with PokerStars, the biggest site in the world! All the money from the buy ins is going to go to the players which is a great initiative which I doubt anybody else can do. The guarantees are awesome, the 1st place guarantees are really cool. Lots of other cool stuff too – the whole PokerStars thing gives this a nice aura which separates PokerGuru Tour from the rest of the pack! It’s gonna be smashing!!

I have heard there will be bounty on your head for the main event, What you have to say on this is it going to make things difficult for you?

I say BRING IT ON! lol. Well, there’s going to be a bounty on the entire PokerGuru Pro team firstly. I’m not gonna think about it too much. I’m still gonna play my natural game or whatever game the situation requires. I might tighten up my game a little bit if I feel like the bounty i causing people to recklessly come after me but otherwise no real big difference!
