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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Better reward people for their skill than luck

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.

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.
