I'll admit, I like watching WSOP on TV, but it's not a sport any more than chess is (which I also enjoy).

Maybe it's time we start another "what is and isn't a sport" thread. We haven't had one of those in a while, and they're always fun.

Do these guys really know mathematics? Are they good at calculating odds? It would seem so, but maybe they just pick a few experienced players? I've played poker, but never watched this.
