    poker, a sport?? No. this should be included in the games category, but sports definitely not. this is something to relax, not an "effort"

    It's a sport, just like chess is a sport.
    Sport in the thought of high competition. Not every sport must be physically!

    It's rude if we call poker as sport. Indeed you get wet a little bit when hold terrible card, but that's it....no other movement involved. So if you taking poll, i will say no.

    Having being a professional poker player for almost 4 years, I must say that poker is a sport. It is definitely a skill-game, where the talented (and temper-controlled <--very important in poker) will win in the long run. The variance of poker can however be to much even for the most seasoned players - but once you really understand variance and accept it, almost anyone can succeed (at least in low limit poker).
