What do you think about Poker becoming Olympic sport?

[rbackmann]

thumbs down

I don't like it
Not everything has to be an Olympic sport to have value

 

[navicula]

I don't think this will happen ...

 

[Manifestor]

poker is a gamble, and it doesn’t happen to the olympiad, it’s impossible to go super and always win, so it’sn’t.

 

[Canwai]

Poker is an incredible sport but it does not match the Olympics.
It is another form of sports.

 

[Vanderwolfe]

Unfortunately, Poker still suffers from many prejudices in world society. I believe that with this "final" step our beloved sport will be recognized as it deserves.


And you, what do you have to say about it?

That’s never going to happen, it might be broadcasted on some espn networks but it’s not physical so it will never be implemented.

Difficult to answer about the Olympic games. But I think that competitions should appear, on the similarity of the championship in chess. I mean free contest without any prejudice. When I was still a child, I remember how poker competitions were broadcast on TV, there was a competitive spirit, and perceived poker as a sport. But now everything has changed, I do not understand what happened.

 

[dark IPA]

i do not consider poker as sport. according to my observations, i can conclude - this is a game in which 90% of the victory is determined by blind luck

 

[magicsharky]

I honestly doubt that poker will ever be considered an Olympic sport, some people will put poker at the same category of Chess and Checkers, a skill is required but not at the level of a physical sport, so I highly doubt it.

 

[kientek]

interesting,but yep

 

[jenia stars]

I think it is.more money more,more freebies.

A fan has to be one of the fans of Olympic sports. Than other types of Olympics

 

[drXalf]

Nahhh hell nah.. Poker is not a sport thought.. Show some respect for Olympic athletes..

 

[Krypton173]

A strong NO!

Poker gambling

And you, what do you have to say about it?

Poker is gambling so the answer is no

 

[David macdonald]

This really annoys me it's like asking for chess to be a sport! Poker is not a sport

And you, what do you have to say about it?

It would be very good for all who love the sport.

 

[cubons]

It would be my only way have to become an olympian

 

[PaxMundi]

It's not a sport is it ? its a mental game much like chess.It would be good for poker but probably not to great for the olympics.As it would open the flood gastes for basically anything to become an olympic sport.

 

[Das4ever]

I would be so happy to watch that kind of event

 

[Rumengh]

It sounds like a good idea and all who love the game will be for this game but there are many opponents who think that this is the mosquito. So I think this will not happen.

 

[Igorek1313]

vs. In this sport, the basis of excitement. not the best for human development ...

 

[ironduke11]

definition of sport seems to incorporate physical exertion of some kind, I think that maybe poker falls into some other category but it is always open for debate

Olympic Poker

I find it incredible, it will be exciting to see the best players in the world at the Olympic Games.
I really want to see a table with players Andre Akkari and Phil Ivey.
A curiosity about online games.
The digital gaming industry is considered the 3rd largest industry on the planet and moves more than 3 billion dollars a year, behind only the oil and automotive industries.

 

[Master Bedroom]

Poker is a competition, not a sport.

Breakin' aka Break Dancing should make it into the Olympics as a sport long before competitive activities.

 

[williamsc99]

I think it would be fantastic to be able to win an Olympic medal without being in a physical sport.
