its not a sport and it is not a game of luck ,luck make make 30
% and good play 70% . better on a live table cause you can see the behavior of players

 

[johnykedge]

I think, poker is a gamble, it will never be added to the Olympic games

 

[JetmirDulja]

Well as much as we people... the ones who play it would like to consider it a sport it will never be considered as one by the general public. It will always be a game of cards , a way of gamble ..

Poker is definitely not a sport, But it is a skills game. A person can watch for betting patterns online, or just go on a hunch , gut feeling whatever it may be. At live tables people are looking at nervous tics how a person reacts to looking at his/her cards. Call it dumb luck or whatever some people are going to get lucky some are going to be unlucky. That’s poker.but In my mind it is not all luck.There is skill to the game of poker.

I agree with you. Traditionally, sports require physical activities. Poker and chess are not really sports. They are like card game, board game etc.

Of course its a sport !! You need much practice and dedication. For some people its a hobby , but will never stop being a sport !

 

[Airles17]

poker is a mental sport!
you have to think and make all the best decisions in the long run.

 

[oscarhuka]

Yes, I consider poker a sport and should be incorporated into the Olympic games.

That day will come!

Have you ever imagined poker in the Olympics? let me know your opinion .... poker is a sport or a simple game of chance?

I don't think poker is a sport, but I also don't consider it a game of chance. Poker is Poker. I can't even classify Poker as 'a' card game. Maybe it's 'The' Card Game! Poker is Unique!

 

[Mohamed48]

Indeed it is a sport of smart people

 

[kbuinowski]

is poker a sport

Have you ever imagined poker in the Olympics? let me know your opinion .... poker is a sport or a simple game of chance?

To me i think that poker is a game of chance and luck of the draw. so I don't consider poker a sport..

I think of poker as a mind sport. Mental sharpness gives you an edge over your opponents.

 

[LedZeffelin]

Whatever you think chess is, poker is.

 

[Gaviria8]

No, I think poker is a mental game

 

[saha2000]

Interestingly, in my country poker is considered to be gambling and it is hard to prohibit it, play only in casinos and specially organized tournaments in which cash cannot be won but only material prizes.

 

[royalflush122096]

Yes poker can be a sport because players can be professional just like players can with professional baseball!

 

[mottap14]

For sure it is. ♠️♣️♥️♦️����

 

[5KINGLEO5]

poker is a game which means it is a sport, I would like to see poker at the Olympics.

 

[rodo 2285]

The truth is, if a game like chess, because it has a strategy, ways of analyzing the game according to your opposition.
I think all sports have some kind of physical activity, and I can't find any poker.

 

[Kiskacsy88]

Sports. It takes knowledge and a lot of time. Poker Olympics. sounds good

Of course- Chess is considred a sport, and frankly poker is a lot harder to be one of the top players. Hell dominos is considered a sport. Poker is a sport of the mind.

 

[PavelTimofeev16]

Poker is not a sport for me, poker is a pain for me)))

 

[andreypuch]

For me, poker is a way to make money by competing with smart people. But it would be interesting to see poker at the Olympics.

 

[alex_dorda]

Poker is not a sport for me, poker is a pain for me)))

[TanteSjaan]
