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?
That is actually quite a good question. One that I have never thought of until now. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that with poker games it does not feel like the players are entirely involved in a luck based activity like gambling but rather it feels like each player has a strategy. I guess this makes it fun to watch for observers. But that's just a guess of mine.
