If poker were an Olympic sport, would you like to defend your country?

korbal29 · Feb 9, 2021

Patiotism is not my forte and anti-patriotism is a no-no to me.

pescaofish · Feb 9, 2021

if poker were an olympic sport, I will like to play representing my coubtry, but since all olimpic sports, first I will need to compete against other players in my country and then a team representing my country will be able to compete.
I hope I will make the team representing Panama. :boxing:

I would definitely like to participate in these games, and would do my best to get the gold medal.

govnoed228 · Feb 9, 2021

: D what's the question? of course. it is very pleasant to receive awards when the whole country is looking at you.

klaus210dieter · Feb 9, 2021

I would not go to olympics for my country . Im not good enough to compete
I let Fedor Holz and Pius Heinz do the Job

AjR3ckless · Feb 9, 2021

With honor on the front lines i would wear my black green and gold reping the small island of Jamaica!!!

It is very prestigious to represent your country in any sport! I would be very happy to represent my country Russia at poker competitions.

JohnWayne329 · Jul 24, 2021

Obviously not. I think it would be like football in Olympic games.

aleomar86 · Jul 24, 2021

It would be very nice to defend my country in an Olympic sport.

Sulfuros001 · Jul 24, 2021

Hey,

Unfortunately, poker is not considered as sport in my home country, i hope this will be changed in the new government that will take office soon.

GARCIA PABLO DANIEL · Jul 24, 2021

hello

If I would very much like to defend my country in the Olympics ...

bra01 · Jul 24, 2021

I also want to win a gold medal, hoping poker can be included in the Olympics, but the facts are far away

Branimir84 · Jul 24, 2021

Well, not at the current skill level heh

A card game isn't a sport. They tried that with chess in the UK about a decade and a half ago; it was some sort of funding wheeze.

Only if I was good enough.

Emily Trott · Jul 24, 2021

I'm in this for the competition and the Olympics are the highest level for that, so if I were good enough I would love to represent the USA. It would also be one of the few events that isn't separated by gender so there won't be any big controversy when I bring home the gold.

They should also be in a gambling town like Vegas or Monte Carlo for poker's debut.

This would be interesting if it weren't for the peculiarities of poker, but if the winner is determined in the last hand where some 6-2 outplay pocket aces with relatively equal stacks, will you consider the winner to be true?

Of course it would be true because that is a part of the game. Just like if a heavy gust of wind came up for the final shot that would decide the winner of a clay target or archery competition and it caused the shot to miss. There are variables in all sports.

tihomir_kula · Jul 24, 2021

I`d be happy to be a razz representative of my country.

provenezuela · Jul 24, 2021

Yes it could be, despite the fact that poker is a mental sport, but I think it is very difficult, that they take it as an Olympic sport, it is impossible really.

Paraphrasing one of my favorite movie songs,

"Nuff people say they know they cant believe,
Jamaica we have a poker team"

franken222 · Jul 24, 2021

Absolutely!

I could use some free trips around the world, paid for by our governments.

I'd even wear a flag t-shirt at the tables.

I thank that Cardschat should make a formal request to the IOC, to make poker a demonstrator event in 2024.

That would set up a permanent status for future olympics.

riff_raff312 · Jul 24, 2021

That would be nice to play for my country but i have a hard time defending the big blind

nba2009 · Jul 24, 2021

haha excellent question but everyone already knows the answer, who would not love to represent their nation in some Olympics of the greatest honors that should exist

GabaGabaHey · Jul 24, 2021

Sure, I'd do it, except I'm also sure that I would fail every single drug test that they'd give me.
Thanks for legalising almost everything Trudeau. lol.

elchonga · Jul 24, 2021

The strange thing would be that someone does not want to represent their country

If poker were an Olympic sport, would you like to defend your country?
