In poker there are no active or physical actions therefore it is not a sport, but only an intellectual game on a par with chess.

This is the eternal question that will always take place for many answers.
Personally, I think that in poker, unlike other games of chance, such as roulette, there is a very important influence on the skill component.
However, chance, from my point of view, has a constant presence in poker. And we as players, we must reduce or control as much as we can their influence throughout the game.
We observe a clear presence of the random component in poker, in moments that we have to endure continuous bad spells, when we are left with the feeling of having played well but we also lost, etc.
Considering all that has been said, I believe that poker is a game of chance, and also that it is a game of skill. Where the objective of us, poker players, is to prevail the ability factor over the luck factor.
I do not consider poker to be a sport, although it is true that it requires a mental effort to practice it. As for example chess.
In all sports the random component is present, but I think that the presence of it in poker is greater.
That's why in poker, you can win a game a beginner player to an expert.
In the short term, the random factor influences a lot in poker, much more than in sports. But this changes in the long term, where the skill of the players appears.

How not to play poker is a gamble, but also intellectual at the same time, that is, if you play better than most poker players, then you will win money, but there are people who are terribly unlucky and even when they play well they can lose for a long time money or play zero because of the variance, and if you play badly, then you will lose your money or win the dispersion it is insidious.
Some people when losing money run into excitement and go to the limits above, recoup and there they lose money even more or win, but how much would they win under the excitement and it will be difficult to stop and get out of the excitement, there are people who constantly lose and still play poker in the hope that they will one day play their money.
For some people, poker is entertainment they play to take a break from work, for others poker is work.

Hi.
If any game is played by players for money, then it is obviously a gamble. Given that chess is considered a sport, I see no reason why poker can not be considered a sport. In my opinion, poker is a sport.
Good luck.

hi hi
that for sure a huge controversy that been debated a long time
the importance of the question relates to, if a game of chance then it gambling... hence illegal many places
if it a game of skill.. then it isn't gambling - it's like a sport, a video game
i think it's partly BOTH
