There has also been no holding back when it comes to the federation announcing that there will be a tournament
which will be held in Vilnius.
The tournament will take place from the 24th to the 26th of April. This is just
the first sign that there are going to be many changes taking effect when it comes to poker and how it is perceived
by the public, as well as other officials. This ruling will cause many doors to open for poker as a whole. It will
lead to poker tournaments being organized other places outside of Lithuania.
Poker as we know it
Poker is not what most people regard as a sport. However, by organizing it outside of traditional casinos, it will
be placed in a different category than it usually was. The fact that poker will be thought of as a sport, even if
it is a sport all its own, will help more people to have more respect for the game and look at it a completely
different way. True poker enthusiasts already know that poker is a game which takes much more than luck, there
is a lot of skill needed to excel in poker and this change will shed a lot of light on that fact. Even though
there is money involved, this does not take from the fact that skill is a huge factor in how well a player does at
poker. It makes perfect sense that poker should be considered a sport.
