That's right! But in poker, besides intellect, it is very important to be able to make the right decisions. And not always they will be logical, as many players are subject to emotions and the desire to win back. Therefore, in addition to intellect in poker it is important to control your emotions. :unsure:

Poker is good for developing logical thinking. You have to think hard.

I don't consider poker a sport. But in my opinion, poker is definitely an intellectual game. And although not all players are intellectuals, luck definitely doesn't take this into account. Everyone can become a winner, regardless of their level of intelligence.

I always thought of poker as a big puzzle of incomplete calculations where we train various aspects of our mind

Nowadays, any discipline that has a measurable result can be called a sport. What is the difference between sports competitions in which you pay money for the opportunity to start with cash prizes for individual places and a poker tournament in which payments and bonuses for individual places are also clearly described.
Physical and intellectual effort go hand in hand in any competitive situation, so in my opinion, tournament poker is a sport.

Of course, I've always compared it to chess. Poker may even have more factors that can influence certain moments.

I also consider poker a sport. Poker is definitely a game that has all the characteristic elements that are inherent in sports. And although poker is an intellectual sport, it is still more of a sport than a game of chance for me.

For me poker is like chess. It's an intellectual activity and requires a lot of focus and discipline, but definitely not a sport.

I completely agree. I also believe that poker is a sport, but an intellectual sport, like chess. I'm from Ukraine and we recognise poker as a sport at the official state level.

To become one of the best poker players in the world, you don't have to have an athletic physique. But you do need a great deal of mental acuity and concentration. That's why poker is defined as a "mind game" and is often compared to chess.

I think poker deserves to be recognised as a sport, as an intellectual game. And although there are tens of millions of players, it doesn't mean that they are all intellectual athletes :)
Only a few will become professionals, all other players are just amateurs.

I don't even know in what other sport you can simultaneously apply intelligence, skill, preparation, luck and luck.

Yes, poker is an excellent intellectual discipline. It challenges your critical thinking, decision-making, and mathematical skills. Success in poker requires understanding probabilities, analyzing opponents' behavior, and adapting strategies in real-time. The game also demands emotional control and patience, as you navigate through wins and losses. By consistently engaging in these cognitive processes, poker players sharpen their minds, develop strategic thinking, and enhance their ability to handle pressure, making it a valuable intellectual pursuit.
