Look, to argue this, I only like to repeat some fine statements, I think Dan summed it up best, sports require physical activity, sitting is not a fucking physical activity, the guy who said doing that for 15 hours a day 7 days a week, I wouldn’t consider a fat guy on the doll being a sportsman, playing sport. I like to lie down for that much sometimes, is lying a fucking sport?
Also, your brain is technically not a muscle as it doesn’t move and contract to move others parts of your body, also thinking doesn’t really consider it to be a sport in my right opinion.
So yeah, if poker is a sport, then Monolopy, and Risk, and connect-fucking-4 should be sports too. I sit while playing them, and also think to win, so yay, sports for everyone!
No, sarcasm that was. Poker is not a sport, its a game and will stay that way.
look u faggot poker is a sport wat does sitting have to do with anything ur just looking for a stupid reason to argue omg they it while playin it it cant be a sport who says all sports have to be physical is bridge physical no its also a card game but has been named a sport and poker takes much more brains and skill to win hugh gay faggot just lie down and admit ur wrongness
i agree with you book myfriend! or how bout we just get over it, i mean does it really matter! there is no point arguing about it and then just not getting a corrwct answer, we all got our own opinions!
i agree with u snogga u namless person i hav never met lol but yea we shud jus stop fighting and say that yes indeed poker is a sport hey i might just go watch it on SKY SPORTS or ESPN which are SPORT channels
Book ruffel, you are an idiot. Your arguments suck. Using your brains is not a sport, and whoever the hell named bridge a sport are complete idiots, but they haven’t named poker a sport then have they?
I also said about sitting for the fact that alot of people argue the several hours of sitting classes it as a sport, but that is completely stupid as that means a fuckload of stupid activities would be defined as sport, I’m gonna go take a shit, I’m training for the fucking olympics. etc.
Better your argument book, and then perhaps you could sway me.

lowshank your a fucking retard, you can’t use sleeping as saying that could be a sport because there is not competition in fucking sleeping unlike the competition in poker. now if you can make competitive sleeping then you can consider it a sport because there would be something to compete over and i guess technically there is physical activity. also in poker, and only real poker players will get when i say this, when you bluff and push over 500 dollars into the pot or alot of you stack, depending if your playing cash tables or tourny, you start to sweat cause you know if the guy calls your bluff your out of all your money, your heart starts pounding and you start to sweat rapidly like a fucking beast. your heart rate gets going faster then any other sport you can do and you sweat more then if you were to play football, then when the other guy folds and you just won over 2000 dollars you just collapse cause your legs are so wobbaly it feels like you just ran a marathon. and if people say poker is not a sport well they are fucking idiots.
Tav, that has nothing to do with physical activity, its all in the mind, and comes across in the body. the mind does not count. being nervous has no right to be considered a sport, and competitive sleeping then? so you would consider blackjack, roulette, bingo sports? They will all have the same feeling as poker for stress when making bets, are competitive against others, so therefore must be sports? No my friend. None of them are sports. It’s absolutely stupid how many people can possible think poker a sport, it really obviously isn’t, the “physical activity” element is missing, and what you explained tav, doesn’t cut it.
Poker takes alot of skill and sometimes luck. I play poker and i am only 18. I am a rokie and i made it to the finale table in the wsop. Playing poker is a serious thing you have to know when to stop. Unlike one of my friends Alex gundrum lost 1,100 dollars to me over the weekend. Ryan Lee Rincones is just angry about me beating him with 10 3. i am not gay as matter of fact i have had mor girls than ryan will in his whole life. Like i said in the starting Poker is skill but also it is luck.p.s ryan is a dirty beaner.
all i have to say to that is LOL LOL LOL, you lie lie lie lie. if you are 18 then you couldn’t be in the wsop, you have to be at least 21 to enter. ALSO there never was a “Nolan Ryan chalmers” at the wsop final table. So nice try and stop you lieing. and just so you losing 1100 in poker is not that much, you make it sound like its devestating, i’ve seen people loose over 300,000 IN ONE HAND. so stop being a noob and get off this forum.
Poker is a sport. Poker is played over a long period of time and requires the ability to firstly have longterm stamina so one can keep 100% concentration for the whole session. One lapse can undo a whole days competition. To have this longterm mental stamina takes a lot of correct conditioning and the right diet. You can be a good player ignoring these things but you will not move to the next level and become a great player. Poker is a game of calculating percentages over this long period of play without making mistakes. The top players have the ability to bring their top game every day and sustain it all day (or as long as the session lasts- sometimes 24hrs or more) then recover quickly between sessions
