Haha I love this. This is probably the only Olympic sport I would willingly train for!

Go Canada, but no shortage of representatives as i've seen a lot of Canadian players in the final table always (might be sheer coincidence)

In my country, poker is officially recognized as a sport. If I knew how to play well, then of course I would take part in the competition, but there are much cooler players who would definitely win medals for the country.

All the games that are held for the sake of the country's victories lead to the collapse of the world. We must be united.

I would like to win the gold medal!;);)
Hello, if poker would be an Olympic sport, then I would undoubtedly like to represent my country, but the fact is that I am completely new to this game and I have very few skills for this! But of course I would be very sick and worried about my country, like probably each of us! I really like this game and this is my hobby, I like watching broadcasts of poker tournaments, but I think poker will never be made an Olympic sport, but I will be very hopeful about it and believe in the best! Good luck at the tables and in life!

Sure, I'd do it, except I'm also sure that I would fail every single drug test that they'd give me.
Thanks for legalising almost everything Trudeau. lol.
its fine to do those drugs:rolleyes:
as they arent real drugs just plants
Its the steroids that are drugs and banned from the olympics

It is very prestigious to represent your country in any sport! I would be very happy to represent my country Russia at poker competitions.
You wouldn't be saying that if you were American representing America....
Heck I'd represent Russia and I'm not even a commie I just like PUTIN

Ofcourse I would
But its too simple to be a olympic game I guess
you know they have jumping right
jump while running forward
jump high as you can
jump holding a stick
throw the stick!

simple isn't a requirement
its the standard

Good morning.It would be a dream come true.But, to be honest,in my country Perú there are better poker players than me and they would have more chances to win a medal.But for any reason, if I were the chosen one , I would give my best for my country.

Of course I would like to represent my country. In fact, not long ago pokerstars had a few events that were made by region and by country and in fact I think it was the only one that represented my country lol. But already being in the Olympics, it would be a great honor for me to be able to compete in this category. Regards.

It would be a dream come true, to prepare in extreme conditions and then represent your country and win a medal would be my dream come true.

Absolutely, Yes. But evaluating my skill in reality, I think I would not have been enough for a long time. )))))

Very cool question bro! From everything I've seen here over the past month, really the best question. I think that this will happen sometime, when poker will be popular as curling, for example. It will be interesting to see how the qualifiers will be held in the country.
