And this is why i am 100% sure that poker is a SPORT... just like basketball or chess... you have to be mentally fit and on top level.. you have to practice practice and practice... so many people think its all just luck... well.. where in the world is not little bit luck involved !!! From 100 times Michael Jordan was throwing up game winning jumpers... did he win the game all the 100 times ??? Of course not... but he won it more then lets say if Scottie Pippen would took the Jumpers... and why.. ?? because he was more lucky then Pippen ? NOOO... because he was the better player... thats why HE got to take those game winners and not Scottie... the point is that its a professional sport... the player who works more on his game will be the one who stands out... POKER SHHOULLLD BECOME AN OLYMPIC DISCIPLINE !!!!!!!!#2

quote 'It happens sometimes that your opponents receive better cards and make you lose all night. As long as you recognize the mistakes your opponents are making, however, which you yourself would not have made, then you are a winning player' unquote.that's the way i try to look at it, not always easy to see it like that though, good reading and something i will keep coming back to.

Poker isn't a sport in the way basketball or chess is because at a fundamental level both of those games are pure skill. Things can happen that relate to luck, but skill is relevant in the SHORT TERM in those games. Skill being relevant only in the long term is not something that makes more a good sport.Put it this way if Kasparov is in a tournament with 100 randoms he's close to 100% to win it.
Similarly if the LA Lakers are in a basketball tourney with 100 high school teams.
Can you honestly make the same claim about poker?

bad beats suck but in my experience the cooler can be even worse as it suckers you in at least a bad beat is due to bad luck and cant be avoided.#9

Poker should not be made an olympic discipline, because you can't say "this is the best player in the world for this year" in poker from one tournament as you can in sports. In the olympics usually the gold is taken by the player that was in best shape this year, while in poker there are many examples of bad players, who got a nice heater during a big event and won it. And then you are going to say "this is the best player for this year" ? It will be just wrong. Like saying that Jamie Gold was the best poker player for 2006? Could you say that? Because you can do so in REAL sports for pretty much every player that has taken the gold in the olympics.#11

Sometimes it's too hard to quit a table that seems against your A game,it's hard to stop making continuation bets or make a bluff.You can make good decisions at one table but when at 4 tables you end up making more mistakes and lose instead of winning,so it's better to play at a single table till you make automatic decisions and then multitabling#14
