Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games

[qwertyup23]

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?

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.

If I said not too many people don't know what he spoke again I don't think I mistaken that is why they announce me talk again He's not being a worldwide something so I believe that with poker game. Many people only like to know what is good about it like asthma do you know that casino game has taken over the game's

This is a totally an off topic and low reply to the topic of discussion which is bordered around poker tournaments,  and from the look of things this comment does not meet up with this thread.

Back to the topic, reason why poker is popular in series and tournament is for the fact that poker is a more engaging game and can accommodate multiple players who can play against each other of the system. Some other games host tournaments but not as fun and exciting as poker league.

Because it attracts a lot of players who are skilled in poker and can beat the house and their fellow poker players, like all the other members' opinions here we are in one in saying that poker involves a lot of thinking and strategy, one strategy and skill is how to look at your opponent's face so you'll have an idea on the card he is holding and make the opponent feel that you have a good or bad card, these are the things that you cannot apply on other games in casinos.

I also had time to attend training in the type of Poker game, it had been quite a while but the basics I learned turned out to be related to body language, eye movements, facial expressions, and mental things. Whether it's true or not, but the more often I see poker players at the gambling table, the fact almost all of them do have intuition in reading what cards the opponent is holding. Not a few are interested in the game of poker because it is quite draining of the mind and mental when it is in front of the table.

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.

The truth is I didn't know that this game was popular in Indonesia, I understand that this Remi will be the same as the one called "Rumi" where I live? he consists of dealing 10 cards and putting together trios, strings, something like that, right? and what changes with the rounds? If a casino implements this type of game on their platforms, at least I will be hooked there and more if they do it or focus on PVP.

Another way to see Black Jack in PVP mode is like roulette in physical casinos, that is, they enter there and you can see the participation of other "real" users and thus gives them more emotion, it's like being in a casino physical but with the exception that it is digital (and I wish it existed with a personal Avatar and everything)

Because it is possible to run a tournament with poker and not with other popular games so casinos are doing it, there are lot of different kind of tournaments are happening somewhere related to sports and gambling so this isn't surprising. On the other hand poker got the structure for professionals to execute their skills and also the luck so everyone think they are better are high so the number of tournaments are also high.

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.... 

This is what makes poker so exciting to watch, watching someone playing against a machine or a computer is nowhere near as exciting as watching that person playing against another one, I do not know exactly why this is the case but it makes it way more interesting and it gives poker an edge over other gambling games, maybe slots are way more popular than poker but poker is way more interesting to watch as the plays some of the world experts can make are incredibly impressive when we take into account the money they are betting and the level of their opponents.

^ It is definitely right, playing against person to person are very interesting to watch and that is why there is a live tournament of this game because this is not only focused on luck but also you can increase your chances of winning by the ability of your skills. It seems boring to watch if you are against the house edge though there are some people doing it and having a live video still tournament makes us excited.
Base skills games usually have tournaments not unlike those based on luck games.

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.

all gambling game is rewarding lol ,
from poker to any card game., from Lotto to Dice game, from roulette to sports betting , all of those are rewarding lol.

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.

you have already said that all games are rewarding so of course this is attractive , there are even million or dollars that had been given away to all poker competition all these years.

Short: Poker is one of the few (if not only) gambling where skill can prevail.

Better reward people for their skill than luck

Indeed and that is why crypto gamblers are totally involving and playing Poker than other gambling in the forum .

Skilled prevailing or not? yet this is still gambling and when you called gambling there is still a big part of Luck to make us win.
I also knew that in many cases that Poker experts won because of the not so  good performance of the opponent and not because of their skillful way.
but all In all? indeed that Poker is one of the rare gambling areas when you can use big part of skill and small part of Luck.

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.

I cannot think of any other casino game where it can compete with Poker in terms of skill and endurance, it takes years of effort for you to sit and try to employ a strategy where your opponents cannot decipher what's on your card and for you to study the body movements and facial expression of your opponents, it's very similar to a chess game where the battle is on level of skill and trying to combat what your opponents next move, that is why I prefer playing a luck based game like Dice than poker, even though poker is more rewarding.

[Coin_trader]

that is why I prefer playing a luck based game like Dice than poker, even though poker is more rewarding.

Same here. But for me I don’t have concern on poker skills but more on the bluffing and mind games because I can’t fake my facial expressions if huge money is involved or if I have the winning hand. I participate on poker table IRL and I can’t stand the pressure on playing against veterans players because you will always assume that they have the winning hand when they are giving you a raise war.

I quit poker for good and focus on Blackjack instead to avoid this kind of pressure feeling although poker gives a better winning percentage compare when dealing with the house because of the house edge.

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.

BlackJack requires some skill to win profitably too, but it's a different set of skills from poker. In poker, I believe it's a mix of math, probability and psychology because you are also playing against another player. In BlackJack it's more on just the math and probability, but it can be a good card game for tournaments.

There's another casino game that requires skill to win profitability, and it's like BlackJack because it's more about just the math and probability. It's the dice game called CRAPS. Every gambler in the forum should play it.

Yes Exactly, poker tournaments are a much of fun, besides being able to get big prizes if win, poker tournaments can also train brain and train patience. Every decision we make whether it's fold call or raise must include smartly strategy and thought, this game also a lot interest of almost all card gamblers. I think the thrill of poker tournaments is when we are up against other table winners and we have to be able to read the opponent's playing patterns very smartly.

I don't mind getting the prizes for these poker tournaments. What I want is to look at those intense bluffing and just like watching the whole tournaments of these poker plays.
That's the fun that I like in poker when there are tournaments but when I play, I usually play on small timetables and I'm just amazed to see how much these pros put in the table and bluffs when the raise becomes high.

There's a good interest for poker recently, and that's why gambling site want's to take advantage of that and host a tournament so they can attract more gamblers. Though you can see in games and rounds section, many site also host tournament or promotions for other games, maybe you just need to explore to see other games as well. Some top site focuses more on this, it seems effective and that's why they are doing this almost every week.
