Message: [QUOTE="M13A13, post: 4399675, member: 320135"] There will always be ideology that tries to explain a situation, and justify an issue. Is Poker a Game or a Sport? It is a game because you bet and make simultaneous bets and you are subject to the conditions of luck or bad luck, in that you have no way of being contrary. It is sport because there is a certain competition where a number of people compete for the 1st place in a tournament. However, between being a game of chance or sport, you may consider that day-to-day poker is a game, but there is the small sporting condition of playing with someone the first place position of a tournament. In sports there are no simultaneous bets and plays are opened, luck or bad luck does not happen freely. In poker you will make several bets, your opponent may fold, but he can beat you on the last card and still have the worst hand. He can do 2 pairs, crack and even a straight flush, in which case you had bad luck. [/QUOTE]
