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.
