Is poker developing in your country? How often are offline tournaments or series held? And what are your offline successes?

gambling is prohibited in my country, online is also prohibited, but people play online poker and oddly enough still manage to withdraw cash. Everything is very confusing:)

About 15 years ago poker was very popular and many of my friends had poker sets so we played live for fun with small buyins and big beers.A friend of mine that did not like to fold, called and allin from an aggresive player in the blind from the toilet and won.I never forget that.Today poker is not very popular but I still play, most of my friends do other things today.

In my country Argentina tournaments are played everywhere every month.
I have not yet been able to participate in any of the largest.
Maybe one day I will, for the moment my game is online cash.

You're right my friend, but in the end it's that every day it's becoming more known and recognized, soon there will be no barriers, even more so because cryptocurrencies are on the rise.

Poker in my country is very little encouraged. Furthermore, it is seen as a game of chance. Many people in my country are unaware that poker is a mental sport.

Here poker is legal and can be played live.
However i don't play in casions, the only live poker i play is some tournaments / cashgames with some regular friends/aquintances. It is real thrill and fun

Live poker is not legal in my country , only home games.

The exception from this rule is the Norwegian Championship. This year it will take place from September 30 - October 8, just outside of Oslo. I am planning to play at least 2 of the tournaments, if my wallet can afford it.

If you are Norwegian and would like to participate , you can have a look here.

to this day, happily they let poker players play quietly, I hope it continues like this and they don't put obstacles later like in other countries

No idea if it is growing, but I do see lots of small poker clubs/tourneys in local bars.

Unfortunately.. offline poker is not very common in my country. But I know that players from my country - Belarus, as a rule, are plus regulars online.

I would say that quite a few people play poker in my country, and we even have our own small poker room. There are also various offline and online tournament series held regularly. There are many poker clubs where you can come and play poker.

poker is developing in my country, of course, but there are not so many tournaments in life and there are no big ones so we hope that we will develop into offline tournaments in the future. I haven't gone to offline tournaments for a long time because there is an online tournament and I don't see the point in going to play offline online now

Sweden has a lot of good professionals and our government-controlled site where we only could play against other Swedes was very soft up to the equivalent of 100NL.

But recently the national site has merged its player pool (or most of it) with the iPoker network (full of bots and colliders since a decade back).

Plus "to protect gambling addicts" they only let us play poker on sites with a license - and after the poker site gets their license they are not allowed to give rakeback, bonuses, or freerolls of any kind to Swedish players. The same with sports betting sites.

So my enthusiasm to play poker or bet on sports to earn money is almost zero. We don't get to compete on equal terms with other players.

In my country there's little development, but somebig casinos host tourneys constantly, so at least if you want to enjoy it, it's possible.

The sport is increasingly successful in the country. And, with each passing day, the greatest national players gain recognition around the world.
