Poker is a sport, but poker is an intellectual sport, just like chess. I think so, because I like to think of myself as an athlete more than just a banal gambler

If you take poker as a mental sport it could be, even more so when you are only a tournament player.
Although it could also apply to cash, apart from the fact that the structures are different.
In other words, it could be considered as a mental sport, in fact, I read that in canada a group of universities did a job in which they were amazed by the benefits of poker, for example in an area of our daily life that is very important, What is stress?

no poker is a game, not a sport in sports, luck is minimized even if it is in poker, luck is a very big part if you look at it so it has nothing to do with sports, I think she would have entered sports games in so many years, but as you can see, she has not had this status in so many years

Poker is a card game.
Poker's not a sport but the best poker players do sports and avoid eating junk food so they can be in shape and stay sharp during long sessions.
Poker's not mathematics but the best poker players do a lot of calculations.
Poker's not gambling but the best poker players take risks when it's worth it.
Poker's not a lot of other things but the best poker players still learn about them and use them to get an edge.
Poker is the card game we play and some of us really love.

Poker is definitely a mental sport. Strategy and logical reasoning are the main tools of this sport. A game that always depends on luck is a game of chance. This is a paradox, but it is the pure truth. But in poker, as it is a mental sport, luck or bad luck can exist, as in any game, but it does not prevail in the players' success or failure.

I would not say that poker is a sport in my opinion, but rather I would consider it an intellectual game of chance. Here, in order to win, you need to apply your knowledge to calculate combinations and invest financially. And there is a risk of losing your money, and you need to understand this when you sit down at the gaming table.

For me personally, poker is a game of chance. Of course, in poker, as in sports, everything is decided by the patience, discipline, skill and luck of the player, but nevertheless, poker is just a game of chance, and you and I are just gamblers, beginners, amateurs or professionals.

I wouldn’t mind, I think that poker has a lot in common with chess, but the main difference is the big factor of luck in poker, which you cannot influence. Could it be an official sport where luck plays a significant role, and maybe as much as skill? Question, not sure.

Since the game of poler involves the use of the mind, players must be healthy enough to focus on applying the right strategies. If a game requires physical fitness from its players, it can be considered a sport.
