Should poker be an Olympic sport?

[john_entony]

Why not? Involves skill, stamina, concentration, strategy..

Absolutely, poker should be in the Olympic Games! It would be very interesting to see poker players wearing the colors of their country's flag. I think that in the future this may come true and poker will take an honorable place among other kinds of sports.

No or darts 😄

how could this be done? it's very complicated for me

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

No. The luck factor is too big. (And alcohol is prohibited for athletes )

 

[Diman111]

I would like to But not everyone calls poker a sport

 

[sibkaz]

There are a lot of card games... Then we should create a separate card Olympiad...) Poker is already at the forefront)

No, not worth being an Olympic sport in my opinion.
I think there is a lot of skill in poker, but there is just too much luck involved in the result. You hear of absolute amateurs winning poker tournaments, but that does not happen at the Olympics. Olympic sport is reliant on skill with very little luck playing a role.

I think, yes.
For me, poker is an intellectual sport. And I believe that poker could well be an Olympic sport. But whether they recognize it as such or not is another question.

...playing poker depends on technique, skill and study in addition to practice... even though the game depends on a small percentage of luck, I still believe it should be included in the Olympic Games.

In my opinion, poker is a sport. I believe that poker is a sport like chess, for example. Calling chess a sport and not considering poker a sport is like a double standard.

 

[SPANKYSN]

Too much luck involved.

 

[GarotoMaroto]

Probably not, i dont know
Just does not feel right XD
God bless

For me, poker is primarily a game of chance. I don't consider poker to be a sport, although patience, discipline and skill are crucial in poker, just like in sports. Luck is also an important factor, but fortunately for us it is not decisive. I don't think that poker will ever be recognised as an Olympic sport.

Hi
I think that yes, poker should be recognised as an Olympic sport. There is every reason for this and it would be fair.
Maybe someday, the time will come when one of the members of the CardsChat community will become an Olympic champion

It would never work in my opinion. Poker is a slow sport, in an Olympics people look for 'physical' sports, and besides that a tournament takes a long time, after a while it becomes boring to watch.

I would like it to happen honestly!

 

[romerim]

sport: methodical practice, individual or collective, of a game or any activity that demands physical exercise and skill.

Not for me!

Good question, yes for me, because it's a mental sport, but it's
