what did they mean by this

Of course not you dumb fuck. it's a card game.

yes, it's a team sport. all the players vs the house. if a player on your team doesn't make the smart play every time, it can hurt the team's chances of winning.

It's not a sport. It's a game.

You can master the mathematics of poker pretty easily but it wont make you "good" overly mathematical calculator players are easy to sniff out and beat

It requires less athleticism than eSports so no

Howso

shut up gambling addicts, if you aint getting the hands, you're out. luck plays too much of a role for it to be a sport

this is pretty bad isnt it?

It's actually the only correct way to play that hand. By checking he's giving his opponents the opportunity to bluff or catch something on the turn if they all check. He's got the nuts (the best hand you can have at that moment) and the board is super dry so if he were to bet they would more than likely all fold since none of them have anything more than Ace-high.
