Hello.
In my country, Ukraine, poker is officially recognized as a sport. And I am convinced that in the near future poker will also be recognized as an official sport worldwide.
chess, rummage and last but not least poker which in my opinion is a very advanced math. Now don't imagine that in the future you will not study at the math school that poker will be studied.
re: Poker & What are the so-called Sports of the Mind?
In my country (in Russia) poker was equated with gambling after 2010. Now there are special gaming zones (cities) for playing poker and casinos, Sochi as an analogue of Las Vegas in the USA. But chess and GO are periodically held, really. And in some our schools they are taught after classes.
Yes, in my country poker is also considered a sport, and I think that is fair. Without a doubt, poker can be considered a sport, as can chess or billiards.
