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?

Nothing beats a poker tournament as you are playing against real opponents there,it takes a lot of patience to win a Texas Holdem Sit n Go tournament for example.During such time you are also learning a lot if you observe what other people are doing in hands where you fold and see others how go and play in different situations.Chances are high to win here if you are extremely patient and only hit hard through all in when you feel that you are absolutely sure that your cards are a winning hand.

No other games offer such scenario as in this version of Poker the Texas Holdem a considerable amount of skill is prevalent compared to other games like roulette where no skill is needed except 100% of luck.

Well, I guess there are a lot of possibilities to win or to lose and it's enjoyable to play with other players, game of chance as always to play is kinda boring. This one isn't a game of chance at all (sometimes you will feel that it is when you're too lucky) because it requires a lot of skills to play though it may vary when it's in online or the traditional one where you're sitting with other players.

Aside from what poker players stated, other factors make poker the favorite for most tournaments, such as the ability for players to play against each other and having the chance to fill up if they get exhausted while playing the game. I have come across several tournaments being announced but have not heard of other gambling games I dont know why this is so but I can tell you are going to take part in the next tournament that will be announced in this forum.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.

I mean ask yourself, would you find a competition with Dice to be fun to watch? Where it's basically instant and even if you argue about using many rounds to determine the winner, it's still a boring process to watch. Poker on the other hand involves quite a lot of factors that enhance its own appeal, making it entertaining for both the players and the people who watch them play. The fact that the people are able to compete against each other and where winning and losing can happen regardless of how good one's hand is (e.g. bluffing) makes it really entertaining for most people. It's like watching a dark horse get the top in a competition, an unexpected but welcome surprise.

I can't answer you regarding other games, but regarding poker, what makes it so attractive to fish or recreational players is that it is the game mode where their bad play doesn't crush them fast. In a tight cash table, someone who sees the flop a lot and plays passively, the money usually lasts a short time, but in a tournament it usually lasts longer. Add to that the roulette effect when the blinds go up and people start going all in, which adds excitement to the game, and you have the perfect combination to attract an audience.

That's right. The twist of the game that's why it's more fun and the addition of trying to be better than the other guy with bluffs and unpredictability.
While if you do tournaments in Dice, Roulette, and other short games, it's difficult to find what makes it more competitive when it's all luck-based games.
I'd rather join a tournament predicting sports winners like a parlay than that because it requires analysis which for me is something I like to do.

Definitely I do think that why Poker is so popular in the terms of tournaments is the basic fact that it is a social activity which enhances not only interactions but at the same time the players are able to not only practice their skills but also their luck here as well. It is rare to participate in online gambling and see that you are pegged against a player, enhancing interactions with an age old game which have been in the social circle also with the announcements you can see the rewards attached and also some players are able to practice their skills if they were playing it on a particular platform then you must understand that, they are very familiar with the rules and regulations therefore for them it would be even easier.

Exactly. If you also add possibility to "re-buy" and "add-on", the game is not so depressing. Could you tell from your experience, when you took part in one of bitcointalk tournaments, what % of players were - like you called it - "fish or recreational players"? I mean - are "internal" forum tournaments invaded by pros?

Because it is one of the gambling games which player can fight against player directly and there's a lot of possible interaction on this game compared to other games such as Blackjack, Baccarat, Slots and other gambling games. The only tournament that can be applied on other games is just wagering tournament which is not interesting to join because whales usually dominates this kind of tournament.

If you are interested on different games tournament, Your best chance is to join sports betting like this one https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetios-premier-league-prediction-sign-up-00025-to-join-03-in-prizes-5405399 which is sponsored by sportsbet.io with just a minimal entry fee to win such a huge jackpot prize.

Thank you for sharing this link with me, I have gone through the thread and i guess am going to participate in that jackpot but it seems to me that the thread is for premiere prediction and not a game tournament.
