I don't consider poker a sport. For me, poker is a game of chance. And although it is indeed an intellectual game, I don't think it would be correct to call poker a sport.

I don't think so, poker is more of a game of chance, even if some people say otherwise.

Poker is the sport of the mind.

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 basically agree, but see poker and chess as two vastly different games. Psychology is much more important in poker, while the math is easy. In chess, it's the other way around.

good joke this thread, chess is intellectual game not poker.

yes, i agree

Psychology is definitely present in poker, but it is not a sport, but a logically complex game

I agree with you. I think that poker is an intellectual game for gentlemen. It is not for nothing that people compare poker to chess. In order to become a successful player, you need to be able to think correctly, have patience, composure, be able to manage your emotions, correctly assess the situation and everything that is happening around. These and many other qualities are inherent in intellectual personalities. If a person is frivolous about life, then he will not have good results in poker. Here, as in ordinary life, in order to achieve success, you need to constantly develop yourself as a person, as well as work on your gaming skills. Poker is a very multifaceted game, and that's why I like it.

Poker is not a sport for me. It's more of a mind game.
