Message: [QUOTE="antonis32123, post: 4889581, member: 127517"] It would be awesome the day when they will accept poker as a sport , I am sure this day will come for real . It 's not gambling , bingo or lucky cards . Instead Poker inspires competivity , is a real contest of skills , courage , patience , precise calculations , clever maneuvers , strategies , ingenius traps , hard decisions , a struggle for the gold/first position until the end , a systematic fight with yourself to get the best out of you and to beat stress/fear of losing , a discipline to stay calm/focus and not to reveal weaknesses-tells to the other players , critical mind games and moves which only the strong and skilled will overcome and be victorious on the long run , and generally it has so many other charachteristics that make poker a unique beautifull sport . Some say the problem is the lack of body exercising---give me a break :) I don't think this is a problem . There are sports that don't include so many body parts movemnets/exercising/synchronization , such as 10m air pistol , some other shooting/archery games , etc . If equestrian dressage (poor horses-it always reminds me circus:o) or curling (extraordinary sport:rolleyes: , the sweepers with the brooms, wow , it still reminds me cleaning my house:p) or badminton:trytofly:==)):stupid: are sports , and also official Summer or Winter Olympic games , well forgive me if I consider also poker as a sport :eek:. In the worst scenario , because I guess many don't like poker to be accepted as a sport ( or is it that they disapprove the idea to watch poker someday at the Olympic Games?? :confused: ) we can find a special variation of poker that satisfies both most poker players and athletic committees' standards . So many new variations appear every 2-3 months ;) , Online Poker Rooms (they are specialized in this :rolleyes: ) and poker pros should work together to find a variation of poker that could be accepted as a sport:) [/QUOTE]
