Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games

[Eureka_07]

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?

There are competitions for other games here that are being held by different casinos. You can find them in Games and Round board. Some are free to enter (usually when the game is about prediction).
But if you're referring to games that aren't initiated by casinos except poker tournaments, it is because no one initiated it.

I do think that it is highly because of the nature of the game itself.

Unlike other card games such as blackjack, etc., they fairly end quickly and the process is relatively simple compared to the techniques involved in poker. In addition, poker is one of those card games that mix luck, skill, and technique in order for you to win the game. Either you win due to the overwhelming card quality that you have on the pool, or because you bluffed the opponent even if your hand is bad.

Poker game has always been a game of interest, as i can always remember during my childhood days that its the game of our town as a lot of people have been addicted to it. So the nature of the game itself is interesting and tempting. And for you to succeed and make profits in this type of game, aside that you are having a good position of your cards, you should also have your own strategies and techniques that will certainly work especially when having poker tournaments.

Aside from that, competitions can only be host by the casinos if there’s a demand for that games because if none, that may become a useless competition because very few gamblers will participate or none at all. Poker is a game of strategy, and having a competition with this game will be more entertaining, I watched some tournament before and I can say that the interest for poker game is very high, also its fun to watch Poker where you can also learn from the strategy of the gamblers.

Poker is not the only game that host tournament but poker seems to be the most popular among other games even though casinos also host tournament to promote both the casino and the games especially if the game is new the casino may want to host a tournament in that game in other to expose the game to players that may want to compete for the prize. So even though poker tournaments have been going on in the forum for a while now by some casinos such as the betnomi and the other popular casinos that have held tournaments on the platform.

Do you know that if their is a competition in a poker game, the best thing to do is to learn cryptocurrency. I have not seen many people who is into cryptocurrency.  Poker game competition is not what everyone knows how to play it and i think that is why the competition will not take much support

This comment seems off topic even though some part contain the topic of discussion, the thread starter does not include crypto currency in the thread so I wonder how you are able to ship in cryptocurrency into your comments.

Or are you trying to say that cruptocurrency have aid poker tournaments the fact that most of the poker tournament around here are carried out using crutpocurrencies like Bitcoin to pay out the price to their winners?
 I wish to see your reply for more clarification of the point you are trying to make here.

Poker is one of the few casinos games where you don't play against the house, you only play against other gamblers and everybody has the same winning chances. It makes it the perfect setup for a tournament because you can play with 2-10 people per table and can include a large number of players. The main thing about tournaments is the prize money and the more participants means the higher the price money. Another good thing about poker is the blind structure that keeps increasing, this means that games won't last forever and there is pressure on the players to keep defending their blinds. Maybe casinos could think of other tournament structure for the future, like who roles the highest numbers. But these games will always be directly against the casino and not so interactive.

[RapTarX]

I'm not sure what you mean exactly TBH but tournament are fun when they are board games. From what I have observed so far; there are not a lot of board games out there. Only poker is there and that's too limited; I can remember SwCpoker and betnomi if I'm not wrong. That's one of the limitations of having a tournament. I guess that's the reason.

People are competitive by nature, and while it is obvious we enjoy all the casino games there is no doubt that poker has a special place in the hearts of many gamblers around the world.

While there are other kind of competitions, when it comes to the different gambling games there is nothing like facing an opponent and then beating them, not only you get the joy of getting some money, you also get the joy of being able to beat your opponent, and this is a very powerful feeling for most people, which explains why almost all sport competitions revolve around the concept of beating your opponent.

where did you learn that there are no competition of poker that uses cryptocurrencies? just go around Games and Rounds and also check those legit gamblers here that loves playing Poker like yahoo26678 in which mostly joining poker competition.
I'm not sure what is your main plan in telling this but it looks like you have no deep understanding about poker games and tournaments going in cryptoworld.

If you notice there are many big tournaments for poker sponsored by exchange like FTX and other big groups as this game is really inclined up in having interest of the players and mix of strategy based experience coming from old days.If you have participated in them you know how much fun it is as in the past I have also taken part in some of the forum tournaments like on betnomi and SWC poker and it is really fun to play so this is why we see such craze for the game.

our community itself here in bitcointalk is one of the biggest contributor or player of Poker competition in terms of crypto gambling .

Boardgames are fun and a great way to test your decision making skills and so far not just acquaintances can enjoy the game but it's mean to be a game for family. I was one of the participants of that said event and it was really a fun and memorable poker tournament we've had here enjoying with the forum members, though I stopped personally joining from the game considering the timing.

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.... 

Yes, you are right, we must also recognize that there are many people worldwide who are fans of poker and who have great faith in that game, so much so that many seek tournaments to play, some or a large number of the community go to pokerstars.net but what I don't like is that they don't accept cryptocurrencies and that for me is what brings me down, for me the platform that does tournaments should be enabled 24 hours a day, doing tournaments every hour, or every half hour, I never know knows when a player feels lucky or wanting to play and wants to have access, I think that's what they have to keep in mind for them to grow.

I am fascinated by the game of poker, however when I play I can never reach the finalists, and I have read many tutorials, I have seen different manuals, and it is incredible, but I have a friend who is very good at playing poker and He is also very good at playing pool, in crypto tournaments when he plays he always comes out on top, the truth is I don't know nor can I figure out what he thinks and how he thinks when he plays, sometimes I think that what he has is a gift, at Just like in pool when he plays he is very good, I have asked him and he tells me that he plays without fear of losing, and he plays a lot with the psychology of others, that is the only thing he tells me.

Is FTX a gaming platform? or Exchange? I have seen in some sections of the forum dedicated to altcoins that they talk a lot about FTX, I am not a poker expert, I have seen tutorials that are exclusive to tournaments and apply a lot of mental strategy and that other players see, when we play in an online casino it is harder for our gestures to see us and more likely to win than to play against the machine.

I have not had the opportunity to play in a poker tournament, but I admit that it must be a lot of fun and at the same time feelings of strong emotions and fear will jump, when very large bets are made if the player does not have how to cover them, he can lose everything entry.

I've seen this in movies, but in movies where you see faces, to recreate this type of situation, just by making big bets I think you wouldn't need to see anyone's faces.

In poker there are many things, the straight, the trio, pair, flower and more, it is possible that someone new like me, should learn these things or the site can suggest the best play? It would be of great help and that they show the hand ranks and games.

I am also a person who admires poker players but I personally am not very good at it. I have even attended offline poker matches in several areas but that was also an event before the pandemic. What I watch turns out to be more difficult than what we watch in front of a screen. The real atmosphere clearly brings us to the moment when the players have the kind of strategy that is hard to guess.

Therefore, when I get to know online gambling, especially the payment using cryptocurrency, poker is one of the games that I will often visit.

It is very difficult to imitate poker, particularly the most known version of texas hold'em. There is a whole culture built on this game - should I say sport -  that comes back from a long time. Some say it begun in the very old China while other claim that the version that is closer to current is "poqe" played in France in the XVII century. However, it was in the US when it got to where it is today.

That is actually quite a good question. One that I have never thought of until now. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that with poker games it does not feel like the players are entirely involved in a luck based activity like gambling but rather it feels like each player has a strategy behind each of his moves. There is even a psychoanalytic component players try to calculate. I guess this makes it fun to watch for observers. But that's just a guess of mine.

Then maybe you should learn more then? because it seems that you are not there to understand everything for gambling instead what you are pointing is something that you dont really know.

Gambling, poker and cryptocurrency are being accompanied each other nowadays and there are even tournaments happening from their part.

Same looks here because reading His post makes me think that if he really know  crypto gambling specially how this market supports poker , In Games and rounds eh can see some games running or those who had ended about poker.

similar occasion we can see because this has bringing more gamblers interested in using crypto than fiat or their credit cards.

and also this competition is getting bigger as what real life poker is gaining now.

How do you think, why big companies are not accepting deposits in crypto? I mean PokerStarts etc. Is it just a lack of provider? Or they are somehow obliged not to do it, because of some money-laundering rules?
Even PokerTracker is not accepting crypto ;-)

I think it is something as simple as they simply do not feel compelled to do it, if you take a look at the interests of those gambling with cryptocurrencies you will see that games like dice and slots are the most popular while poker has only a small amount of gamblers enjoying the game, so if this is representative of the overall interest of the community then those big websites probably do not see the need to adopt bitcoin yet and give that deposit option to their clients.

[RILWAN]

Even though games like dice and slot are most popular but poker in the contest is most favorable for tournaments even though there has always been a low turn-up from most gamblers on the forum. Cryptocurrency gambling has become very popular and some games do not attract many players I think poker is one of those games and that is why they always organize a tournament to attract new players to test the game.
