hello, I am following your conversation, by the way, very interesting, relevant and constructive, and I would like to make a comment.

First, I would like to make it clear that I am totally in favor of the growth and development of the game, even if it became an Olympic sport.

But my life experience shows that this is a practically impossible situation, and I say why:

Olympics are disputes between "countries", this is the first barrier of all.

Some countries still do not consider poker a sport, others do not even allow it to be played live, this already shows the size of the problem that would be to put into practice a competition.

Even if this problem is solved, there are still other problems: "lobby"!

Those who believe that it is only about competing and representing their nation, have no idea how much money an Olympics represents!

So, how many other associations and organizations from other sports, some even with more visibility than poker, are not at this very moment, trying to isolate their own sports, leagues and associations within the competition?

Is it just for the love of the sport? or does this involve financial gains, directly or indirectly?
