totally agree with betwrong here

the concept of being impredictabe to yourself starts weird from point 0, imo

and Poker has a lot to do with skill so this information about many being 1st on online AND irl is really interesting

I think to test our theories on this matter in practice we need a poker tournament, something similar to Bitcointalk Poker Series we used to have. It's much better for the research than playing with random people because we can share screenshots of what we really had in this or that case here on bitcointalk. I myself played all of those games, and it has helped me a lot in improving my skills. Read through the threads dedicated to the Series, and you'll see that it was more about having fun and testing theories together than winning money.

I hope poker sites' owners or representatives might bump into this thread and then consider offering us a tournament or series with money added to the prize pool by sponsors. If this doesn't happen, we can think of something else.

definitely one of the best suggestions on this thread so far!
amazing idea!

but what is the best poker game on place that would have the structure for a crypto self-organized tournament?

Different people prefer different games, and there are those who love several poker games equally, but I personally, after playing all of them, have decided to focus on NL Texas Hold'em solely. I love this game so much that I can't fully enjoy playing other games. But that's me. I'm not saying(not even thinking) everyone should love what I love.

So, I will be happy if another game will be sponsored. I will be happy for those who love that game, but I myself will rather not participate.

NL Texas Hold'em forever!

I agree, there are many variations of poker and every single one has its merits and can be enjoyable to play but there is no doubt the most popular and the most exciting is NL Texas Hold'em even the limit and the pot limit variations pale in comparison and this is because thanks to the community cards someone is bound to get something more often than not and even if you are not participant of the hand that is being played it is very exciting to see the mountains of chips moving from one side of the table to the other creating excitement that no poker variation can match.
