Poker: sport or not

[Purplereign_]

An amazing game.

If it's not a sport why is it covered on the sports networks?

I think poker is a game of strategy and cunning. I don’t see it as a sport.

Poker: Sport or not

Poker is mind sport, as by means of mathemathics you can definitely increase our chances.

In live games you can try to read faces, which might help you to uncover possible bluffs.

Unfortunately there are a lot of maniacs at the tables, especially online, who often seem to always have the luck at their side. Therefore many people do not accept poker as sport.

I don't think poker is a sport.Sports competitions are those who are stronger physically, they are competitions of dexterity and strength.Poker is a competition of mind and luck.I can compare this game to chess., checkers.
