Does playing a sport make you an athlete?

I hope you bragged

na, i couldn't stand up for 27 minutes and they made fun of me. i had to pull the tuck move and take care of business in the bathroom. how embarrassing.

if golf is a sport, then poker is

What a retarded statement. Poker only requires mental abilities while golf tests strength and coordination, among other things.

No being athletic is being coordinated in multiple sports like myself

I can sit in my driveway but I'm still not a car.

You may not be but I'd still like to drive you. Sign me up for the test drive baby.

Poker requires more than mental abilities. Wait until you have sat at a table for 15 hours then got to get back up the next day and do it again. For the big tourney's you need to be in good physical shape or you more than lose your mental edge.

Now to go to the casino and play 1/2 NL for 4 hours simply requires you not to be a donkey, or have a monkey brain telling you what to do.

Perhaps I should have said above average. I maintain that you only need to not be a 400 pound POS to be able to do decently in poker tournaments given that you are a decent player normally. Then again, the only 6+ hour tournaments I've played in have been online and haven't been on back to back days. The only time I've come close to that was playing live cash games at a local Indian casino where I put in a few consecutive 12+ hour sessions.
