I'm going to resurrect this thread because I have some more questions:

Is there any way to gauge the "gambling factor" of a game/wager?

What makes poker a game of skill?

Does the fact that poker is a game of skill change anything?

Do tournaments have less of a "gambling factor" than cash games?

What are ways to get around poker as gambling? (to make it NOT gambling)

Are free-rolls gambling?

Are tournaments that are "free with purchase" gambling?

Are poker leagues gambling when the game is freezeout tournament and everyone pays dues up-front?

Thanks
