There is no sport where an 80 year old man in a cowboy hat can beat a 21 year old. So no poker is not a sport it’s a skill just like golf.

Yes!! Its a mental sport! And requires a lot of discipline and constancy.
 
If we see it as a game, yes it is a sport! A very interesting and exciting sport!

If they consider 48 hillbillies chasing each other around in a circle for 5 hours at 200 miles per hour a sport then yes absolutely poker is a sport!
 
poker is a sport of mind. It is like a chess in both uses the mind
 
why poker is not a sport, if championships are held by a huge number of people from all over the world, leaders, etc. Winners receive cups.
All this is more like a sport
 
Poker is sport imo to me, when player have very good mindset, not only poker skills!
 
Really love poker, but poker as a sport..come on
Sport is about athleticism, everything is clear to me.

Got me 🙂
Anyway, you need some technique to play dart and snooker..while chess...hmm, i wouldn't say it's sport.😀
 
poker is different.
this is a hobby
it's a profession
this is sport
it's just fun
who will choose for themselves what is convenient

That ican understand.

The more people that want it to be a sport however, it eventually will be. Soon we'll have country based events where 5-10 per nation enter and compete to see who has the balls (or lack there of 😀 not leaving out the ladies) to win.
 
BOTTOM LINE: POKER IS A SPORT. DID YOU SEE IT WAS FINALLY ENTERED IN THE SUMMER OLYMPICS 2022!! SEE YOU IN THE GAME!
