Is poker money or sport?

Playing Live is money, online is sport

Falai_san · Oct 20, 2023

For me, I play for fun and if I win money, that's good.

Both. Poker is a "mental sport" like chess, in which the most successful player wins the highest prize money.

money and sport at the same time

Poker is not a sport. Its a game of chance & is gambling when betting with money. Its just a fun hobby for me.

I think if you play as a beginner it is no sport. But if you develop your game and try to getting better and better, it is a sport. You must learn strategies to win. You must train hard and study to be a better player. Also the physical aspect of a long tourney is not do underestimate. If you reach the final table of a big tourney you must play 8 or more hours and on more then two days in a row. I think thats are alot of aspects which you could compare with real sportsgames.

It's a sport! And like any other sport it has professionals whom live of the game (money), and others whom just have fun with the game (sport, fun).

Best game ever. If you had to run while playing for not getting disconnected or to avoid rake or something it would probably be a sport.

playing against you so many times to know the ''if win money'' it's a very rare situation

For me, poker is about sport. I have a competitive spirit, so I love sports and competition with others in any form.

MathMDI · Oct 21, 2023

For now I play poker more as a sport, because I'm training to one day do it for the money.

What is poker for you, a sport or a way to get money, which is more important to you?

I don't consider poker a sport. Poker is a game of chance. For me, poker is primarily entertainment, although sometimes this entertainment also brings me money

romalion · Oct 22, 2023

additional earning of money, plus some action, adrenaline, such as in some sports

aissam18 · Oct 22, 2023

Ofc it's to win money you can't tell me you playing poker to lose money

tihomir_kula · Oct 22, 2023

If money are enough, poker is a sport.

Cueppi · Oct 22, 2023

I personally play for the enjoyment of the game. But..
If u want to rise your personal skills and goals, i think there is something like in other "sports" where u wanna go up and up and up.
Poker is not a typicall sport, its a mind game

neptunas888 · Oct 22, 2023

At the moment I consider poker as entertainment, I really want to get into a game that brings me money for a living

TeUnit · Oct 22, 2023

Poker is not a sport, its a skilled based game.

Abda · Oct 22, 2023

Poker is a sport

kringoo · Oct 23, 2023

For me, poker is neither a sport nor a profession.

fryderyk · Oct 23, 2023

Always a hobby first, when I win a big tournament I will consider whether to play more often just for the money.

jonaselloco · Oct 23, 2023

I think poker is a mental game.
Now, I think I know what you mean.
If we take that you are just a tournament player, poker could be said to be like a sports competition. In every competition you want to get the best place, and for that, like in tennis for example, there are prizes for those who finish in the first places. So if we take it as a competition, poker would look like a sport.
As for if you play only cash, I consider it to be only money. In other words, your goal would be to increase your level of gaming and betting, but the objective would only be to make a living from poker by making money.
What would be the difference between cash and Mtt's, for me the difference would be "the glory".
To give an example, you can be the best cash player in the world, play high stakes constantly and be a huge winner, but the satisfaction of playing a wsop or EPT event and winning it, or winning a tournament even if it is online gives you It gives a satisfaction that not all the money you can win in cash will give you.
Although I do believe that every excellent Mtt's player was first surely a great cash player.
Greetings
