On April 29, 2010, the International Association of Sports of Mind (IMSA) officially recognized poker as a mental sport. With this, the entity confirms it as a game of skill, as well as chess, bridge, checkers, go, and other mental sports that are part of the entity. The announcement was made during its annual congress in Dubai (UAE). "I am very happy to receive the International Poker Federation (IFP) as a member of IMSA. The participation of poker alongside chess, bridge and other mental sports at IMSA's annual events will show the world that poker is a sport of mind, strategy and skill, "said IMSA president José Damiani.
Only 5% of poker players are profitable, which shows how much you need to study this sport of mind.
