A sport should involve an intense activity of the muscles so if you believe poker does that than my answer is yes you may consider poker is a sport.:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

No.

End of thread.

For me, poker is not a sport, it's a hobby and a hobby for me, and it's very good when I sometimes get a small profit, but there are people who are very passionate about this game and get good money, but I would not say that poker is a sport!

I will say so. poker is not a sport, but here is poker and sport as two elements together is a good mixture for any player. good mood, good health and discipline of mind and spirit .

I think of poker as "mental gymnastics".

However, I dont think I could ever consider it an actual sport.

In my opinion, poker can be considered a sport.
Given that chess is considered a sport, I see no reason why poker can not be considered a sport.

poker is more a science than a sport. and the poker stars in it - the professors

i certally sure that its not a sport. Its just a trump game with or without $.
Sports for me, use your body potencial skills not just the brain..

It can certainly be a test of mental acuity, and as such, one can benefit from physical fitness and a solid nutritional approach to one's diet. It does share this common attribute with sport, in that fatigue can definitely be a factor. That being said, it does not require much by the way of hand-eye coordination, muscle memory conditioning through training--unless you count chip shuffling--nor does it involve the testing your physical skills under pressure. So even while it is great competition, no, I do not consider it a sport.

Why not? If the chess can be a sport, why poker isn’t a sport?

^^I don't accept chess is a sport, for the same reasons. But that's just me.^^

The border between poker and sports is there, but still they must be interconnected.
the player must be in good shape always .

Poker is definitely not a sport. It's gambling. A loser gives money (or something else) to a winner, via a game of chance. That’s it.
Yes I know it's also a game of skill as well, but a top player can still lose due to the chance element, to an useless player.

its a big NO for me it should be considered gambling cause thats exactly what it is a game of luck and how big your bank roll is!!!

Poker is not a sport for me

It's better than sport

No. This is a card game.

Poker to be called a sport needs to have precedents in history. There are none.
This is a card game that can be called also a board game.
Darts, checkers, aeromodelling (ship-modeling) sports, petanque, fishing, eSports are not a sport for some reason yet also...

You have to go in for sports and play poker.
Everyone thinks that poker is convenient for him in any guise
for a good player, it is important to have good health, especially in a tournament game, where we spend many hours in a row.

No poker is not a sports game, table card game has absolutely nothing to do with spore.

Poker is an intellectual game. If we consider poker as a sports discipline, then as an option we can consider multi table tournaments (MTT) poker.

Poker contains a spirit of competition. This is true above.
But poker is more for us a tool that teaches the discipline of patience the ability to manage emotions, money, make the right decisions.
Everyone will determine what poker is for him
