Re: Is poker gambling?
The dealing of the cards and which ones will appear in your hand is 100% luck, however, the betting process would be almost 100% skill, as the amount you 'choose' to bet (or not bet) will have a direct result on how successful a player is, and unlike games such as roulette, the amount you bet can change the outcome. There is also the other aspect to the game of reading other players via tells etc.
The question could be is the aspect of the cards, or the aspects of bet decision and opponent analysis more integral to poker?
