^^^^^ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's ridiculous how people consider poker a sport just because it requires skills. I mean honestly, there are many other events and games that requires skills and should come first before Poker whether it should be considered a sport or not.

Games that requires skills that should be discussed first before poker: Tetris, Monopoly, Starcraft, Halo 2, YuGiOh and Pokemon trading card games, beer pong, bird hunting, and Dance Dance Revolution. These games' level of luck is very minimal compared to Poker and skills will prevail at all times, whether we play today, tomorrow, etc. In Poker, skill will only prevail over the long run of many hands and tournaments. In the games I've mentioned, better player will ALWAYS(or at least almost always) beat a worse player. In Poker, that cannot be said since skills are determined and revealed overtime.

Poker is an awesome card game that requires skills of knowing the odd of cards, reading your opponents, etc but to be considered a sport is a pathetic joke. It clearly shows me how inactive people are in their lives who have never played real physical sports in their lives.

Can we honestly say Jonathan Duhamel is the best player in the world since he has won WSOP 2010 Main Event, the biggest and the most prestigious tournament in the world? I believe not.

Can we say that the winner of any of the games I've listed above in 2010 biggest event be the best player in the world? Yes.
