But athletes that play in a competitive sports and are called players right? when active in the game right? Seems a little misleading. It's like saying Nascar is.t a sport because your just driving when so many physical elements are involved. The most i.portant attributes for me in any sport that is the most valuable ware the ones you can't see. Ex. Fatigue, discipline, endurance, emotion are all major stats for me. Just my opinion.

Yes, it is a sport with elements of luck, although we have no control over the cards received, it depends on our mental ability and reading the game to make the best decision based on statistics.
That is why it is considered a sport with elements of luck.

It is true that some people understand by sports only the strengthening of the body or taking the physical condition to the highest extreme, but as chess enters a category of sports of the mind, I think that poker he also lends brilliantly.It can be a mind sport like any other.Gallarado777 said:
Good question. I believe poker shares many similarities with chess, so I do see it as a mental sport where strategies, routines, and handling situations among other factors need to be applied. I also view it as a business that requires an investment of capital and time for development. Like any business, the initial years may involve losses, and reinvestment is necessary until stability is achieved. Becoming a skilled player is a lengthy journey, but what matters most is enjoying the process and having a good time.
This year, poker was included as a mental sport in my country, Argentina. 2022 🙂

Poker has every reason to be considered a full-fledged sport: Clear rules that clearly define all aspects of the game. The basis of the game is not randomness, but strategy and tactics.Poker truly fits into all sports competitions, and poker players can be considered athletes.
The classification of poker as a sport is a matter of debate. While poker involves elements of skill, strategy, and competition, it lacks the physical athleticism traditionally associated with sports. In many jurisdictions, poker is recognized as a game of skill rather than a sport. However, some argue that mind sports, which include activities like chess and bridge, should also encompass poker due to its strategic nature. Ultimately, whether poker is considered a sport depends on individual perspectives and the criteria used to define sports.
Well, you know, it's an interesting debate. Personally, I see poker more as a strategic mind sport rather than a traditional physical sport. It's a mental battlefield where you're constantly analyzing, making decisions, and trying to outwit your opponents.
Sure, there's not much running around or lifting weights involved, but the level of skill and concentration required is pretty intense. It's like a chess game but with cards, and the psychological aspect of reading your opponents adds another layer.
At the end of the day, it depends on your definition of sport. If you think of sport more broadly as a competitive activity that involves skill, strategy, and a bit of healthy competition, then yeah, poker definitely fits the bill.

I would say darts is definitely a sport may not be contact but it is still a sport in my eyes. You exhibit physical elements by using muscle to throw the dart, mental strength to stay focused to hit bullseye every time etc.slysilvosilvo said:
