no, I don’t think that paint is a sport .. most likely .. people are attracted to competition .. it can be called sports .. but of course people get excited more and more ... and hellenic victory ... and a chance to become better than others ... but in the end, everything returns to its place ... only a few people are winners. let's not confuse sport and excitement:damnmate:

In my opinien it is like a sport game sport...........Because is competitive.......And you need skills and a lot of training training.......Ok...let say you have luck.......you won 1 torney......or two.......but after if you don t play good ....in long period..........you will have no results........Luck in poker is like in everything.......A little bit..........but when the luck is "flying" what we are doing ???? We depend of us,,,

Poker is as much of a sport as chess.

And no, chess is not a sport.

There is a difference between a sport and a game.

Poker is definitely not a sport. It's a game, but mostly of skill, not just luck.

poker is not a sport! for some it’s a way to earn money, for others it’s good to relax, spend time!

I would say hobby or profession but would not categorise it as a sport unless your on a treadmill while you play.

No, as many others, I do not. But what is and is not a sport is a subject of much free interpretation.

Hi Everyone
I consider Poker to be a sport in tournaments only. As we have sports tournaments in any other games with a price money to the winners.
In cash its pure gambling and not a sport.
thanks:heeeellll

Poker is not a sport but that does not take away from the skill it takes to play at a high level.

Cash game is classic gambling. I would categorize tournament poker as a game (like chess, backgammon, go, checker and similar games) rather than a sport, although it has more elements of sport than some Olympic sports such as figure skating, synchronized swimming and similar sports where there is no direct fight between players, already when they complete the practice, the referees decide who won. In my opinion, assessment should be a measure of value in education and not in sport.
