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?

The reason is simple. Poker is a game that is perfectly suited for tournaments and given that there are millions and millions of players around the world it is normal to find a lot of Poker tournaments in different operators. Moreover, Poker is perhaps the game that you will most of the times find in any casino and due to the seeh number of players operators can earn a lot from tournaments.

Poker is one of the few gambling games that you doesn't solely depends on luck. With experience, skill and practice, anyone can perform reasonably good at this game, but a lifetime to master. In a tournament, people usually play longer and there is more excitement.

The nature of poker tournament needs everyone to be player, where else games like baccarat or blackjack needs a banker for the game to be able to be played. PvP is definitely more fun than playing against banker for other games.

Personally I do like to play to earn from poker tournaments in Betnomi and Hunnypoker. Especially when there are faucet BUSD to be earned from the free roll poker tournaments happening without deposit.

I agree with luckmcfly as it is true that poker players are mostly big money holders who necer quit even though they lose so much in the process of playing but then most of them always run bankrupt due to excessive playing and always trying to recover from previous losses.
I think one of the reasons why most of this gamblers do end up being bankrupt is because of so much addiction which would be eaten them to the core. Poker game is much of addiction and if we are not that careful then we can end up been a addictive which can as well make us go bankrupt one day. Excess bettings have there own detriment.
I have a different perspective to the comments of the both of you, because i love playing poker games and i have seen a lot of other poker players who just do it as a pleasure and not with the mindset of making money out of it.
I believe that the reason why most tournaments are held in poker is because of it simplicity and ability to be played by multiple players, that is players play against each other unlike other games where there are always playing against the house.
And taking about addiction i agree with you on that one, as many poker players have suffered wide range of addiction.

Well there are many things that are excellent from what you say, what happens is that sometimes it is like more exciting to participate in poker tournaments that are with many people and it is not only against the house, for me in particular, when I started in This world since 2017 saw more frequently the sites that offered PVP tournaments, now they are very few, does this mean that the directions or tastes for casino players have changed over time? In my case, it has happened like this, I see slots much more fun, of course not at first, but once you begin to understand the concept of slots well, everything changes, obviously if poker tournaments come out I would like to participate.

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?
Poker games are games that have more appeal to people, so they hold the event, it can be said that poker games have become very common things that many people know. As for other games, they are less attractive, so I don't think they hold events for other games.
One thing that the casino aim from tournaments is their own promotion and publicity, As you said that poker has more appeal to people and many gamblers know how to play it or at least the basic of poker that's why everyone can relate. A casino won't launch a tournament that only few people know or participate in because they will get less traffic from it compared in launching a poker tournament.

Yes, you're right, right now I've looked at what sites have poker tournaments but it's not like before, possibly Betnomi always does it, it's the site that handles the most traffic regarding poker, for me poker is a very good game, apart from develop certain skills, it manages to establish some bonds of friendship between the players, in particular I have always really liked this type of event, I do not have as much experience playing as others, I think that in some way a poker player who is very good will always be among the first places, the experience here can mean everything, I consider that I am missing a lot.

I think all this is because it's more popular than the others. People like it more than any other also, skills and luck both are involved in these games, which makes it more attractive than any other, also people are more familiar with the rules of the games and have a better understanding of them.

We as gamblers are always bankrupt but the site/owner? never been lol not unless he knows nothing or not good in running their businesses .
I for once experience that  bankrupt when i visit a newly opened casino and all my funds even my ATM got busted  and that is the meaning that never I bring my ATM again in my gambling  activities because of that day.
because it is a choice that we have to make, such as choosing gambling for entertainment or to earn money for daily needs etc. it's only natural that if a gambler goes bankrupt in gambling it drains more money that must be lost in gambling and we will lose and the bookies will always win.
we can't blame anyone because we are in gambling at the poker table it is our choice to play gambling. whatever it is the purpose of gambling is one way to spend money slowly but sometimes to make rich when lucky to get a jackpot with a large amount.
and again, the main problem is not only poker, which can actually drain money in gambling, but other games may also be the same
Whether if we are playing for fun or money but if we don't have a control, it is always possible for us get addicted and lose more money. It's hard for a gambling house to go bankrupt because there will always be losers even if there are big winners so they can always cover up the winning amount plus they can also earn something.

Poker is not a fast game compared to dice, slot, blackjack and other casino games. If you have a good knowledge in the game, it can also make you lose less or even earn more out of it. This is why this game still remains while other games are banned on the streaming platform called Twitch. I guess you guys heard of that issue lately.

That's right, for me poker is one of the games that have the most power worldwide in terms of gambling, most "Old School" players only play poker and due to the low flow of poker games that exist in e world, or in some casinos they are on standby, so that population of players needs some action, that is why some choose to play on platforms, but they do not find it so attractive to play against the casino, it is better that they hold some tournaments or something more flashy, poker tournaments are very popular and I think they should take up that taste again and have the platforms organize them again.

For those that choose gambling as fun they are lucky to participate in some tournaments as op mentioned and if you looking for the best poker site you can easily find them around. I have read through this topic and I have seen the various comments and suggestions, but we most know that not all games allow for group competition but in poker, one can easily play in a group.
Anything we are looking for we can always get it on the internet making it much available for us to get if only we can take little of our time and search for it. Poker tournaments are many and we can go for the ones we are familiar with or like to join with little or no effort.
The gambling world is becoming interesting having so many games we can play and make bets making some winnings.
Of course when we search on the internet it will be easy to find many things including poker tournaments but surely that is different from tournaments held in this forum where members who join will feel closer and can discuss in the tournament thread where it cannot be done if participating in out there

I think that one of the reasons why we always focus on being able to give online tournaments that are in well-known casinos, is because of the trust and reputation that each of the forum sites lends, I know that there can be many sites on the web where they do online tournaments and they can be very good, but here most of the casinos are made with crypto, crypto is handled and there are sites that only accept fiat money, and that is something that complicates, it can be handled or not with some precision to Although there are reliable payment processors, however in my case, a platform that is good is pokerstars.net, but for convenience I prefer to stay with a well-known casino that is here in the forum.

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.

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.

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.





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 +.


Professional players base their strategies on averaging winning. Sometimes it may be as little as an advantage of 1 in 50 or 1 in 20 if playing with less experienced players, but that is it. This means that they need to play as many games as possible and make sure that the strategy is correct in each and everyone of them. Not an easy task and one that requires plenty of preparation.

Well yes, if they do that type of strategy where they are averaged based on all the games played, then what should be sought is that it has a positive balance, that is, that they add up more profits than losses, something like that is how it happens with trading, when trading, market speculators have control of their profits and losses, obviously if they see that they have more losses they are not seeing trading in the correct way and have to rectify it, I think something like that can apply to poker or any other game in casinos, there must always be a balance in favor greater than the loser, otherwise I think nothing is being done.

For those that choose gambling as fun they are lucky to participate in some tournaments as op mentioned and if you looking for the best poker site you can easily find them around. I have read through this topic and I have seen the various comments and suggestions, but we most know that not all games allow for group competition but in poker, one can easily play in a group.

The gambling world is becoming interesting having so many games we can play and make bets making some winnings.

Yes of course, there is no doubt about that, only that when we start looking for some poker tournaments it is difficult to find those that are reliable, it is very easy to find one where you deposit, but very few where they are honest and pay when needed make a withdrawal request, this is what we have to be careful of, that's why it would be very good if one of the platforms that we have as the best, could venture into the world of poker tournaments, without a doubt it would attract many people in the world, not only here in the forum but also outside, these are some of the many advantages that having a poker tournament offers.

I would agree with you because internet is for help you know what you don't know and in this kind of game what will do is to make a research about that particular game and the examine it very well to know if you play it will you win, because I need to play game to the one that you are familiar with not the one that you are not familiar with I don't think that he will play with it
I am struck by what they say about playing in a group, because playing in a group is a great option to be able to beat the opponents, and it is known that 2 ops have more bosses and think better than one, but the problem here is not that, but there is no platform that makes online tournaments to be able to play, all the casino games that are in the casinos are very good, and 100% realistic, but they are not live and against other people, if it were against other people one as a player would have more opportunity to win, and all those strategies that have been said could be applied, but where can you play live and have them be tournaments against others?

Gambling as a whole is addiction and we must have our stop limits and budget allocated towards it which must not be crossed in any sense as it could hurt you financially as well as in other ways also.Going bankrupt is very normal one and your life is also distributed so this should be avoided at any cost and not becoming too emotionally attached to the game.

It is that things are very difficult to determine, if a player does not get along with his finances he can lose everything and that is something that should not be allowed, just as there are poker players who have a lot of money there are others who do not live According to what they win, it's incredible, but in the world there are people who are like that, however, in my very particular case, I would always like to be involved in poker tournaments to live those experiences more and to be able to come out as a winner one day, I have a friend who plays poker very well, and usually in every tournament he is if he is not 1st, he is among the first, sometimes worse people like him I think they even have a gift.


Gambling as a whole is addiction and we must have our stop limits and budget allocated towards it which must not be crossed in any sense as it could hurt you financially as well as in other ways also.Going bankrupt is very normal one and your life is also distributed so this should be avoided at any cost and not becoming too emotionally attached to the game.

What you say is very true, I really have never gone bankrupt with games of chance, or making sports bets, but I know some cases of well-known colleagues who have had to live that bitter time, and it is difficult, because many they fall into depression and their families have to pay for places where they do sleep cures, according to doctors they say that sometimes addiction to casinos causes that to be worse than drug addiction, because a drug addict is only looking for money to get high, but that the addict to the games tempts against his own life when he does not get money, according to that doctor he assures that the best thing is sleep cures for the person so that he avoids doing something very ugly and disgrace his whole family, the bankruptcy caused by the I consider gambling to be something very delicate.

If so, the key so that we don't go bankrupt and can enjoy gambling games is to learn to control ourselves in any gambling game because that can help us to avoid the addiction that has happened to many people. We don't need to chase defeat or victory because our goal in playing any gambling is to enjoy the atmosphere. But indeed, poker games can make us forget to control ourselves but that will also depend on each player. If they could handle it, they could stop before they lost a lot of money.

I have seen that the majority of the population in terms of Bitcointalk players, not all of them are so wealthy, but that we still like casinos a lot, and gambling, it is because we like to have a lot of fun, but at least I do not have as much money to allocate it to risk in a casino, and because of that I have developed many techniques to take advantage of my situation and get the most out of casino games, and that does not ensure that I have big profits, because you lose more than you win, but if we see gmabling only with another mentality, as well as fun, we will spend little and enjoy more, something that very few who have a lot of money and spend a lot of money and lose it to feel happiness.

Poker series isa big way to spend money and mostly those who take part in tournaments are professional poker players who have loads of money to play around with, with what I have seen on this forum from a good number of poker tournaments hosted here, players are expected to stake an amount to share in the pool.

I don't know if the such a system of group games tournaments is available with other games but poker seems to be the most popular game in tournaments.

It has been quite a time that we have seen some poker tournaments on the forum and few months I have personally played the game on any site.But it was really good to participate along with the forum members like on Betnomi and SwC poker with some good rewards as well and there was lot of excitement among members in the thread about it.But when you play along the real players the situation is entirely different and you have to skillfully handle each hand to see if you can make a good pair out of it and your balance on the table.
I think it just doesn't get that much attention, that's the problem. Poker is not the type of game that ever saw that much attention from the crypto world and that's the issue, there has been a lot of poker websites in the crypto world as well, and they never grew that big, look at all the old ones and you will see how they work hard to get people and always end up failing.

You would probably need a lot of marketing, and I mean like millions of dollars to get a proper amount of people interested, and even in there you wouldn't know what to do afterwards when the money is over, and people are not staying. Hence, it's not a good idea to do it.
