I think Poker is a type of sport, but not that type of sport.

Half of the sports in the Olympics are not Olympic worthy.
I would vote No.

I love poker but would not want to make it an Olympic sport. I prefer that the Olympics are games are won strictly (or as close as possible) based on the skill of the competitor and not luck.
I get that sometimes luck happens in the Olympics but its more the exception than the rule.
For example, none of us are arguing that Usain Bolt was the greatest 100 yard sprinter at the time when he won his golds.
How many times can we say the same thing about who won the Main Event of the wsop over the last 20 (give or take) years?

hi hi
poker is a card game... no think it a sport, isn't that a sport is a contest in which people do certain physical activities against others?
maybe shuffling chips isn't really a physical activity?

The whole idea of poker isn't really getting along with the idea of the Olympics.
But what if eventually, people come up with some IQ Olympics where a poker skill might be one of many just to qualify

Poker as an Olympic sport would probably not happen partly because most of the sports are physical types of games.
