Poker is indeed a sport. Sport is any show of skill in competition form. However I hope it never is an Olympic sport. Far too much luck, and poker isn't about medals, its about winning the big money! (not that I know anything about winning lol)
I think it will never happen, but its interesting idea
According to the definition, there are no sports in the Olympics, and only a few games, since the end result is not entertainment, regardless of what the Olympic Body would have you believe. Poker should not be in the Olympics for all the reasons stated. Also any sport where the winner is determined by arbitrary rulings of judges should not be included. (Synchronized swimming anyone?) Just one person's opinion.
