Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games

[virasisog]

Good points ops, the truth is poker gives the player the chance to use many features such as refill during the game, that is if a player's balance gets exhausted while playing the game the player can refill and continue playing that doesn't happen most of the time with other games, and that is one of the major reason why poker become the favorites in tournaments and series. Is poker the most popular gambling game, I don't think so.

For card games, poker is probably the most popular.
It may depends on personal preferences. One would like to play long, have at least a feeling that something depends on him. He would choice poker or other card game. Sports betting, may give some thrill, but probably not as much as playing against other player. And of course when we talk about playin it internet, there is always a question how reliable/fair the site is. Each time when you lose on the river having AA you would ask that question

Gamblers prefer poker the most among other card games because they find it thrilling and exciting. It's also easy to understand especially if you're a newbie in gambling. Its features offer entertainment and could easily be adopted and learned in just quite a short period. It could be a luck or skilled-based game depending on players handle it. For us to know if a casino site offers a play fair, then always pick reputable casino sites.

Poker depending on the variant is quite complex to play but the best known version is NLH, it is said that it only takes a few minutes to learn to play but a lifetime to master.


The poker is profitable at long way, you cannot measure yourself in the short term, for those who play cash with about 100 thousand hands you can see how your profits are going for those who have patience a million of hands would be a good measure to know if you're a winner in that period, but maybe a million other hands things will change, so you make adjustments.

That is why poker requires constant learning, reviewing your game, skills come from continuous learning from your mistakes and your successes. 
That's why you measure yourself in the long term.

In general, I guess it is primarily the game mechanics of poker that make it a good game for tournaments. Of course, I am referring to Texas Hold 'em because it is the most popular poker game and that's probably the kind of poker game which tournaments are organized here.

The good thing about poker is that luck does not determine everything that happens in the game. So everybody could maneuver each other regardless of their hands. Unlike other games, poker is not simply a battle of what cards you've got.

A lot of poker game tournaments have been announced on this board over time, and am I kind of wondering what makes poker games so inclined to the tournament and we don't see such competitions being announced for other games?

Because Poker is one of the most popular gambling worldwide , the support from poker players is unlimited comparing to other games specially Card games.
and also this has been in the field for long time now , biggest countries and biggest gambling supporter around the globe is promoting and conducting tournament from here and there .
though there are other games that has tournament but cannot compete with how Poker has.

I'd say it's because it's the most fun poker format. Tournaments attract a lot of people, and the more prize money the more people, like the lottery.

They have a format where you can play for a while when the blinds are small and then when the blinds get higher, it gets exciting: the aggression and people going all in.

It is usually more fun than other variants. For example, a table sit and go would be similar but on a very small scale. In a tournament, people usually play longer and there is more excitement.

Poker has always been very popular, I think that another tournament that can happen is with Black Jack, but I think that they mainly focus on poker because you can establish strategies to win and not everything is left to chance, because leave everything to chance I prefer to play slots which seems much more fun to me, however currently there are not many sites that do this type of tournaments and that emotion is experienced, in betnomi they are achieving good things doing poker tournaments, really It is very reliable, but more sites are needed where tournaments can be held at least once a day.

Poker tournament is popular and attractive because it is a pvp based game. Blackjack can be an alternative tournament but the basic mechanism of blackjack is against the house. Here in my country there are some other pvp cards games but most of this gambling games are played in real life. The card game called by Remi and I have experienced in Remi tournament although it was not using money as it was just for fun to celebrate Indonesian independence day in my village. I'm not sure if this remi game is also popular in other countries, but I think it can be a good alternative game for poker.

Aside from that, it's easy to play and be learned and that's why more poker players are coming into this gambling game because it's for everyone.

True.

Because you can apply all of those tricks that you've got like bluffing even if you've got the weakest card in the table.

To me the answer is very simple, in other gambling games you are playing against the house and not against other players so in a way you are playing against a faceless entity and it is very impersonal, however when it comes to poker you are playing against other players and if you happen to have a big win you will remember the username of the one you beat, on the other side of the coin if you lose an important hand you will remember the one that beat you and you will want to settle the score if you have the opportunity, so as you can see poker is a lot more personal which allows you to develop rivalries and this makes the game way more interesting for everyone.

Popularity and the demand is the reason why there’s a lot of tournament though this will still depend on the site, since they all have their own marketing strategy. You can also see tournament or contest in slots game the site just need to set-up the target multiplier. A lot of slots contest in games and round section where the top site hosting the games, especially on hitting the highest multiplier if you have extra money and want that extra challenge, you can also participate on that tournament and maybe if you are lucky enough, you might be one of the winner.

Poker is different, it requires critical thinking and many gamblers love this game because its also rewarding. Tournaments are already normal in any gambling site, this has become their marketing strategy to attract new players and of course to retain the loyal players.

If the reward is attractive, most probably many will join that competition, though I’m not sure if all the site will ask for the participation fee but if its none then better to join especially if you’re a poker player.

The nature of poker leads it to the creation of tournaments, while other gambling games are interesting on their own right their lack of a direct confrontation against other players means that at best you can create some indirect competitions that are not as interesting as what we see in poker, in which you directly face against your opponents and you can win or lose against them, this aspect of poker makes it special among other gambling games and it is one of the reasons for its popularity.

Poker happen to be one of the most fun giving casino games that allow for groups involvement in rhe games and i believe that is the reason why the popularity of poker tournaments is more than other games and this will continue as long as the excitement continue and casinos willing to offer a prize for the winner.

Poker is challenging mentally and physically I am not a serious poker player but all my friends who are very much into poker can testify that concentration and the level of skills you develop over the years of playing plays a crucial role in beating your opponent or the house, that is why we see tournaments in casinos and there are poker organizations for a poker tournament, there is little luck in poker that is why it is on the level of chess on sport category, I cannot think of other casino games that can surpass or even equal poker in making a tournament out of it.

All the other games in casinos are based on luck I cannot imagine a tournament where luck will play a major factor in the tournament it just got to be poker because if you want to play poker against another player, you're battling on who has the better skills in determining each other card and hiding your card from your opponent, that is why we have what we call a poker face a strategy used by players to hide their emotion, having a poker face for a long period of time is already a skill.

That's not really the case when we talk about online poker sites...
I think there is one more reason why tournaments are popular (maybe for some group of people even more than cash games) - they last longer! With cash game (not even talking about other casino games, like roulette etc), you may be out very soon, with tournament (especially on big tables, as on 6 person table it goes pretty fast too) you may wait longer for your "lucky hand".

Poker players love online tournaments because there are chances to earn big amounts with relative low investment.  The spectators love to see these players battling it out, because the game is more based on skill.. and not so much on luck.

Also, Online poker tournament allows its players to compete for huge money from the comfort of their homes and the spectators are also watching them via live streaming from their homes. 

Watching someone battling it out against a Slot machine can become boring very quickly....

I can add that it is easier to play online tournaments. You can show your emotions and no one opponent can analyze you. It makes bluff much easier.
And i disagree with big wins without big investment. If you invest a little money you mostly have a long way to big wins. The same as in offline poker.

Do you know how long the tournaments with low buy-in and high payouts last? Late registration is 12h sometimes... and after that, you can add min +3h (depending on the number of players/if there are available re-buys/etc) before the end! So count it around 15h, a crazy working day!

That's why Bitcointalk poker games were great! Without late registration and re-buys... approximately 3h per game! And when you add sponsored pool it was a low buy-in tournament with possible high rewards! It's hard to find something similar around... to not say impossible!
