Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games

[ethereumhunter]

Becoming a professional poker player is in fact very similar to becoming a professional trader, it is important to learn the skills necessary to profit from the activity but it is also very important to learn money management skills, and we know this is the case because there have been many cases of poker players that have an amazing ability to play the game but which they do not know how to manage their money effectively, and this means that their poker skill level becomes irrelevant and they also become long term losers.

Both are almost the same as professional poker players and professional traders are required to learn more from others, but the subject matters set them apart. But both must have good self-control so that they don't get out of line and still be able to play poker or trade well. And I agree that money management is also very important for every gambler because this will determine how much money they will use to gamble.

Learning from others could be a good way to start becoming a professional but then I sometimes prefer to learn from my past mistakes, this will allow me the time to thoroughly analyze my mistake and make valuable adjustments against future occurrences.

Learning from others and learning from past mistakes will really help you to develop yourself so that you can become a professional. But remember that everything takes time before you can become a professional. But if it is related to being a professional gambler, it will not be easy because apart from time, you also need to consider the financial issues that you will use to gamble from time to time. This may cost more money as we continue to gamble and can also trigger you to become addicted to gambling instead of becoming a pro.

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?

have you partaking in any of those tournament? if yes then maybe you have already learn about the reason why this is the most famous tournament in terms of gambling specially card gaming?

If not then best if you try to participate so you can feel the ambiance and the lust to win one of the biggest reward in gambling history.

this forum or crypto gambling is completely supporting those tournament so let us not question those.

Professional poker players are more dedicated and well-focused on the game or should we say that they have an advantage when it comes to experience. Anyone could play poker but not anyone could be professional in it. It needs a further understanding of how to deal with the risks of this game and having a sense of responsibility at the same time. People prefer poker over other gambling games because its risk is more manageable than others.   

When they want to learn to be a professional poker player, they must spend more time learning various poker lessons and how to control themselves. Becoming a professional poker player means that they can also earn money from the game while continuing to learn. It is not easy because they should prepare many things before becoming a professional poker player, especially the time that must be spent to become a professional. But all gambling games have risks and the size of these risks varies depending on several things.

sure they will , and because this needs to risk their own money and poker is not that easy as many think off.

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 .
I once participated in poker tournament couple of years ago and yes there are good pot of wins but I loss my chance that time.
now I wanna play again in an open competition so i may add more skills to win this time lol.

Well, poker is itself an icon in gambling and not just now, it's a lifelong one, it's a basic game that every player should have among their favorites, because strategy is a factor that every player must put before leaving everything in hands of luck, we have to look for luck, because if we have our knowledge as an ally, it is a matter of doing things very well to be successful, I think this is one of the reasons why many prefer games and tournaments of poker, besides, it cannot be deceived that the emotion of a PVP game with so many people gives much more elegance, because that way you know who is the best.

I have said this a couple of times, I don't know if you have played on a betcoinpoker platform years ago, it was a software that was declining and there were always live tournaments and you could play for free, and there were always tournaments where participation of some it was quite good, of course this is something that when they won the prize it was that if 100mBTC or something like that, there were tournaments where the entrance was paid, and but they were 24 hours a day, and it was very exciting, one could spend hours there playing Of course, this is something I say because I would like a casino and betting platform to take that initiative and launch it, it would be something very rewarding and with a clear traffic option.

It is true that people learn way more vividly from their own experiences than from the experiences of others, however the problem with this approach is that there are some mistakes which are so catastrophic that it doesn't really make a lot of sense to try to go through them on your own when you can learn from the experiences of others, so some sort of balance must be reached in which important but cheap lessons can be learned on your own while important but expensive lessons are learned from the experiences of others.

^ Different people have different approaches to gambling.
Because for me when you are called a professional gambler it means you have more experience in it than the usual gambler.
Though the Poker game has a large percentage of based skills game I think if you are not enough professional enough you cannot divert your weak hand cards into strong hard cards and can able to win your card. So games that have based on skills can be gathered in a tournament like a poker.

The more the experience you have, a big chance of winning is in your hands it because every experience a lot of things we discovered a lot techniques you've been encounter so expecting that you are much better than other who are less in experience. Skills are important in poker tournament and through skills you will be having a good chance of winning so without a doubt if you are skillful then your opponent is less of experience then you have good advantages.

I think that they do get over the psicological aspects very early or else they simply have to abandon. Most professionals take the game level to a point that is pure mathematics. In the same interview, she explained that during the game she just thinks of the money on the table as "firing power" or "fuel left" to be burned and decissions are purely intelectual.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

It's because there are no PVP games for other games. Like in dice, the only thing that competition can be made is through wagering and amount of wins there.
In slots, the same goes there. Is there a PVP type of gambling with slots? None. So, it's the same for dice and unlike poker, there's really an interaction from each player at that one table. Don't compare them because there's a huge gap.

I agree with you, for me slots and craps are individual games, it is very difficult to make an arrangement for it to be PVP mode, how could it be done to play with others? I would not understand, those are the things that should be taken into account, maybe something could be done with other games, with Black Jack you can do PVP tournaments, but taking into account all the things that can be done with PVP mode what will dominate the most will always be poker, poker is like more elegant so that it can be played, and the best thing is that it can be done simultaneously in a tournament, that is something that all this allows the game of poker.

I think that this is true for the most part of poker. But this is not about the bluff. I read several books about plying poker and tried to play as they teach. It really helps but i understood that i lost the interest. The poker became just a job. But i didn`t bet several thousands for one time. May be it gives other emotions.

Well, that's fine in theory, but we're all human and even the most seasoned professionals sometimes let emotions get in the way of their gambling decisions.

First I want to repeat a distinction that I often mention in these threads but that most people don't seem to understand: between professional and regular players.

Both types of players are quite similar in that they are long term winners, take poker as a job and take care to make the most rational decisions possible (EV+). The difference between these two types of players is that the professionals are dedicated exclusively to poker and the regulars have a main job but with poker they earn extra income. That and the level of income. The average professional makes much more money than the average regulars, who can be found in micro-limits (although these regular are often people who are learning).

A regular or professional poker player when he bets, if he does it well, is not thinking about the value of the money the chips have, he is calculating an EV+ move in the most emotionally neutral way possible. A recreational player or fish, on the other hand, is usually an occasional player who is thinking about the cash value of the chips, going up if he wins or going into tilt if he loses. In both cases he usually ends up losing soon because even though he starts with a winning streak, due to the feeling of confidence and thinking that he is on a "winning streak" he makes even worse decisions than he would normally make.

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.

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.

Yes, this is a very good way, but don't worry, there are many ways to learn to play with more precision, but it's good that you play and play because experience is also what makes a person grow, for me poker is It is a very popular game and it is excellent to bet on, poker tournaments have more chances of winning, you just have to play very discreetly so that other players do not take the routines or patterns with which you play, that is a very peculiar way of knowing how a person plays and how to play it, this is something that can be taken into account for every player.

Each person has his style of play and that is what everyone is looking for, to know how they do it to establish their strategy.

You are right, the psychological aspect I think has everything for the best decision making, I know that many people when they are on a good run only think that they will win and they will win, the concept they have about failure is very little, and really that is not wrong, they have an excellent positivism, but before winning every player must imagine a scenario where he fails because it is better to have his feet firmly on the ground.

However, the most famous poker players are people who usually have a lot of money to withstand any loss, perhaps that is one of the things why professionals recover quickly.

It is very common for a professional poker player to say phrases or habsurd things for anyone like "never mind, I lost playing well..." There are cooler (e.g.) that seem meaningless...for most but have EV+.  The long term defines the good poker player and is the reason for such phrases, because the professional or that player who knows what he does does not play with having luck in his favor plays with EV +.

There are actually more and more tournament formats becoming active every single day in the form of esports. These are essentially a form of electronic game just like poker is replicating the real world card games. They're also getting more popular with bookmakers as they can have huge fanbases that could potentially be drawn into placing a bet with the right sort of prompting. You used to only see games like Dota and CS:GO on most gambling sites, but there are more modern games being offered now at some of the biggest sportbooks like FIFA. I expect this market to get even bigger over time, the trick is the ability to prevent any cheating so potentially only live events where no tampering can happen will be tolerated.

10 Poker Players Who Went Broke

These are just 10 but there are many more. Even Negreanu went broke several times in the past:

Being Broke but Never Quitting: The Years That Built Daniel Negreanu’s Career

In the case of very high buy-in tournaments or even high stakes games, it is relatively common for professional players to play with the financial support of others (who provide part of the necessary funds in exchange for a share of the profits).

Poker as a career is not only about playing well, but also about having great emotional control and knowing how to manage your finances. Another very common thing is the players who become established and start earning serious money, many start spending as if there were no tomorrow, exponentially increasing their consumption and lifestyle, instead of taking advantage to ensure an economic cushion and a huge bankroll. Then come the rough patches and they have to go looking for financial support and stuff.

The tournaments in poker are very limited, seeing the comments of people who are very up to date with what has to do with poker, the forum is not interested in poker or is what active players are giving a very subliminal message, they care about is games where there are no complications and they can win or lose whether it is against the casino or not.

I have not seen game tournaments, a tournament for me is when people face each other, and they do not fight against a computer, or against a system, I have never been in tournaments that have the impression and communication with others, I think it is the most typical way to raise the adrenaline and with money, with poker I have not seen here but only against the computer and almost all casinos have poker games.

Without doubt, this is one of the strangest posts that this thread has and that I have seen in relation to poker.

In any case, your poker skills are measured in the game, not in what is said or intended to be shown in a comment, you can be a good connoisseur of the game and have exceptional analysis, it happens in many areas but that does not imply that in practice you have that skills, in poker, being an analyst or expert in the field does not guarantee the result as winning player in the long term, that in essence is the magic of poker, open to any type of player, even the fish are winners at some point.

On the other hand, online poker is played against another player, the forum has at least 7 registered series and more than 50 players have gone through these series, but that does not imply that there are more players, anyway, You want play poker!, it is very easy to do it, so not there are excuses if you feel like it.

[Poker Player]

Without doubt, this is one of the strangest posts that this thread has and that I have seen in relation to poker.

That's probably because what you've written has more to do with quota than with contributing anything meaningful to the discussion.

Of course, tournaments are what they are, and not what they seem or fail to seem to him.

... in poker, being an analyst or expert in the field does not guarantee the result as winning player in the long term, that in essence is the magic of poker, open to any type of player, even the fish are winners at some point.

From your comments it is clear that you have played poker and understand it, so I doubt if this is a typo:

A skilled poker player tends to win in the long run. There are only a few exceptions:

1) That he moves up levels and ends up playing at a level where he has no edge. Therefore, assuming he manages his bankroll well, he has to go down a level.
2) He is going through a bad psychological moment in his life, which leads to alcohol or drug consumption and that affects his gambling.
3) In the case of big tournaments played live, the variance can last for months or years without significant results. Thus there have been a few players who quit the modality or poker altogether.

But a winning NL100 SH player, settled at the level for years and who wins at 6bb/100h, and hasn't dabbled in alcohol or drugs is always going to win in the long run.

Tournament can be also be a series of set games of different matches but same game, it can involve playing with the computer or with other player and a single play mode can also be activated, it has an unfinished task that always comes in episodes or stages, you build yourself with potentials, skills, weapons and all the requirements for engaging a battle and the tournament match start as an adventure that proceeds from step to step, most arcade games are found in this category, action/thriller and car racing games were also common in playing games in tournament.

You've never been on a poker tournament that involves real people I guess mate. I don't think you're aware on the bitcointalk poker tournaments that was held by forum members here and if really not, you may check this recent one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5382245.0, this one isn't against a bot.
