Is Poker a Sport?

[Under the Gun]

What do you think? Do you think that Poker is a sport? Do you think it has a place in the world of sports? I know it involves less exercise, but people define sport in different ways so would you describe Poker as a sport?

I don´t know, i already have problem regarding chess as a sport. In my opinion you can´t really get that good in poker, it´s more about luck that´s why i would not say it´s a sport. It´s just entertainment such as music is.

Well people think that computer games are a sport, as you need to display a certain level of skill, you can train for them and you get better over time. As for calling poker a sport I don't know, probably not. It's a game of skill and chance.
