The question was meant as a humorous conversation-starter, in light of the London Olympics -- and it brought mixed opinions.
"Poker's a game," one man said skeptically. In other words, it's not a sport -- but they are called the "Olympic Games," you know.
Another man thought poker could be an Olympic sport. So we gave him our follow-up joke:
Q: What country would be favored, if poker became an Olympic event?
A: The Czech Republic! (As in "check." Get it?)
One online poker site actually is holding eight days of "Pokerlympics," offering medal avatars to winners of unusual tournaments. One actually was a Pot Limit tournament, a first for that site.
So what do you think? Is it time for Hellmuth, Heinz, Negreanu and the poker pros to be on the same stage as Usain Bolt and Gabby Douglas? Discuss....
