Terrible idea. Now if someone ran a tourney series called Pokerlympics then I may jump on board. Olympics are an athletic competition and poker is NEVER a sport
LOL might be funny but never going to happen - the IOC is staunchly anti-gambling.
I'm still wondering why poker is on The Sports Network (TSN). Admittedly a lot of the players are younger and do play other 'sports', but sitting on your butt for hours on end, lifting and throwing (flicking?) chips isn't exactly my idea of an athletic pursuit.

following this line of thought... what about chess?
Well, the bluff has not been canceled . But seriously the recognition of poker sport would remove many problems.the russians will find a way to cheat at that too

Good evening friends of poker !!!!!
what do you think to include poker in the Olympic Games ??
Bad idea for poker to associate itself with an organization as corrupt as the IOC.
