Is poker a sport or gambling area for speculation

It depends on the person. People who are serious it is more of a sport, a game of skill. There are plenty of people that view it as gambling, and play it that way, chasing the draws and while usually missing, can win big when they hit.

I'd like to think of it as a sport, obviously it's not physically exhausting unless you're playing for 10 hours straight. But it is competitive so I'd say it;s a sport by definition

poker is most definitely a sport, theres a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and u have to use skills to get there, just like u would in anyother sport

[BradysDad]

There is definitely skill involved and you need to train yourself to win, but there are also a lot of gamblers out there

For me it's fun,,, enough said.

I'd like to think of it as a mental sport. Since it does require focus and concentration.

Poker is not a sport, nor is dart's, and nor is cruffs training ffs. a sport is where you physically exercise your body to a degree, poker your just exercising your mind. so NO, it's not a sport and never will be.

What does the term 'sport' refer to, when someone is 'hunting for sport'?
