hey...

ok i aknowledge out of boredom and hoping to read some of your witty comments i have asked some pretty lame questions, but i am really curious what you guys think of the question if whether poker is a sport?!...

i mean i do this shit professionally (or semiprofessionally, i think you need to MAKE a LOT to be considered a PRO) and i thought no one seriously thought it was a sport, until recently....

this is what ive found for definition of SPORT

1)Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
a) A particular form of this activity.
b) An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
An active pastime; recreation.

i guess its a past time ..but i mean thats the loose loose definition of the word... so i say no way its a sport...

londoni got nothing
