Message: [QUOTE="ben_rhyno, post: 1677792, member: 64224"] I don't think it's a sport. It may be a mind sport but not like chess. In chess there is much much less luck involved and skill is basically the only deciding factor. A grandmaster will beat a novice 1,000 times out of 1,000 unless he concedes the final game through sheer boredom. Skill is still a large factor in poker, but even getting it in with your opponent drawing to 1 out sometimes isn't enough in poker, and the worlds most skilled player can lose to the worlds least skilled player on any given occasion dependent on this tiny luck factor only.
