Unlike almost any other form of "gambling", poker you can swing the "odds" in your favor with skill. No amount of "skill" will give you an "edge" over the other players in a lottery or playing slots (at least none that I know of).... but with skill, knowledge, and good reads you can often win in poker even without having the "best hand".... it's not always what you have, it's what the others think you haveOf course poker is gambling. Money is being exchanged on a bet that you have the best hand !!!

you're betting on an uncertain outcome. by the definition of gambling, it's gambling. but that's really just semantics, so who cares?

yes it is. we don't have infinite lifespans. jamie gold will finish his lifetime of poker several millions of dollars above his expectation. was that a certain outcome?
If you play one session it's gambling. If you play hundreds of thousands of hands over a long period of time, it's not gambling.
Jamie Gold played one big tournament. That's gambling. If you mega-table online poker or if you grind 40+ hours/week live you will get pretty damn close to your expectation.
if you play tournaments you will never reach the long run
so tournament players are gambling while ring players aren't?
Its like driving, knowing how to parallel park gets you your license.
