ist poker ein sport? (vorsicht englisch)

[flami]

I am going to go against the grain and say that yes, I consider Poker a sport, a mental sport. Poker involves a lot math, psychology, strategy, and guts, yet you are not competing physically, I do believe it takes mental strength not so much muscle. There are so many of the same elements found in sports and poker. Dedication, Discipline, Patience, Endurance and Love of your game are a few of the similarities. Poker has recently made the evolutionary jump from being viewed as a game to being viewed as a sport in the United States. This is due to increased media coverage and ESPN has taken the first step towards this, other television stations have been quick to duplicate these efforts.
