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.
