Poker is not a card game, it's a betting game with imperfect information. This has no betting round so it is not poker.

You can fix this by allowing each stop to be a round of betting.

The betting aspect features in the short mockumentary film from which this comes: Tube Poker (2005) by Simon Levene.

Oh that's where it comes from ! I couldn't find it, thank you so much ! I will edit my article with the link.
From a ludology perspective poker definitely is a card game. With the cards leading to various dynamics.
