On June 26, 2007, the Ministry of Sports, Tourism, and Youth Policy introduced poker to the All-Russian Register of Sports. What do you think?
The way most of us play poker it is a sport.
I like to make the analogy to American football.
You could just kick and throw the ball as hard as you can and hope it makes it to touchdown.
Or you can make a plan of passing and running the ball into your opponent's endzone.
Gambling for sure. I don't think that chess is a sport so why poker should be. It's a game not sport.
Well, soccer is a game too, so shall we say 'its not sport'? For me poker is sport, like bridge. Unless someone wants to make gambling of it, but we can make gambling of anything.
My opinion was and always will be that poker is a game of chance!
