Do you think poker will one day be an Olympic sport?

fullclock · Mar 3, 2022

I think it will never be, but inside me I do want it to be a recognized and Olympic sport. But I also understand that there are even more premier sports than poker that are waiting to be played at the Olympics. eg like paddle tennis, chess, etc.

Hi.
In my opinion, poker is a sport, and poker should be recognized as an Olympic sport. I hope this will happen in the near future.
Good luck.

No, not ever.

It went and went by team. It was supposed to be the ultimate sport at the Olympics, but every day poker becomes a big sport of the mind.

I was hoping to see it in the next Olympics, but then I found out neither Pickle Ball nor Tiddly Winks are Olympics sports yet. This outrage must be addressed.

Hello!Yes, poker is definitely a sport, if to based on the definition of the word sport. But let's not forget that this is also a card game, which is equivalent to gambling. And not just to gambling, but to gambling, the purpose of which is to win money. It is this moment that prevents poker from ever becoming a part of the Olympic Games.
Of course, the Olympic Games are also a very commercial event, but the goals of the sports that are part of the Olympic Games are still a little different.

poker game has its own life, but I would like to see other mind sports walking with poker, like other card games, board games, rubik's cube, memorization, mental calculation, backgammon, chess...

Mind sports need a really good Olympic Event.

Never. In poker over the distance of one tournament, almost everything depends on luck. It's definitely not a sport.

padman400 · Mar 6, 2022

Never in a million years will Poker be a sport

Bhzrd588 · Mar 6, 2022

Poker it's not categorized as sport, but mostly as gambling with today concepts of sports. On the otherhand it hasn't an extensive arm and reach to mass population and therefore it can't be never accepted as sport!

LOOPY · Mar 6, 2022

Who knows??? They made Badminton a sport.

sincos · Mar 6, 2022

Hardly, poker is a very gambling game!

ICU1234 · Mar 6, 2022

As soon as they make roulette and black jack Olympic sports. Just kidding, no roulette........

CryptoBlood · Mar 6, 2022

No because to become Olympic sport it must be type of sport where you are moving your body a lot and spend a lot of energy.Poker is not same like running,football ro some of the other games it is much figgerent then other type of the games.

gigantbil · Mar 6, 2022

unfortunately poker is banned in some countries so I don't think it will

ganbat · Mar 6, 2022

I hope so.

danoscar · Mar 6, 2022

Hello. Unfortunately, no.

finaltable1 · Mar 6, 2022

gambling will become Olimping sport the same day when Olimpic commission will accept drugs and alcohol as a part of sportsmen ratio.

ASMautoneJr · Mar 6, 2022

these Olympic sports issues are very complex, very difficult to accept, but if it happens it would be cool!

pavel1111111 · Mar 6, 2022

I don't think so

, it's too much based on luck

, it doesn't really hold on what you do

Igor G · Mar 6, 2022

In general, I believe that poker is more of a sport than a gamble. But honestly, I don't think poker will ever be recognized as an Olympic sport.

fullclock · Mar 10, 2022

I read the comments and notice that they are all negative about poker not being an Olympic game. Honestly, I don't lose hope.

Baldy86 · Mar 10, 2022

i doubt it . because of the luck component short term that poker has . and because it is not really a "sport" where you sweat

lol

roger perkins · Mar 10, 2022

Yes along with frisbee golf and synchronized hula hooping then maybe corn hole and jarts.

speper · Mar 10, 2022

Yes, it is a wonderful greasy sport, but it will not be in the Olympic Games because people consider it just gambling, but everyone who plays poker and learns in forums knows that it is professional and requires intellectual effort and focus.
