Gambling is wagering on an unexpected outcome. Of course poker is gambling. Even if you play a +EV game, it is still gambling.

Then there isnt much in life that isnt gambling - your definition includes the stock market, working on commission, insurance contracts, commodity and real estate trading etc...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. They are all gambling.

Actually, working on commission might not be if you can't lose your initial stake but any sort of investment is a gamble and insurance is absolutely a gamble.
