Is Texas Hold-Em a sport?

In: Poker [Edit categories]

Answer:

It certainly stretches the definition of a sport, being more of a mental activity than a physical one. Most would classify it as an activity or a hobby, albeit a very exciting one.
the more experienced poker player would call hold'em a sport as it can be seen as a game of skill and calculation although the law states it is a game of chance therefore not a sport
