Is poker gambling?

Poker is definitely NOT gambling!
If you read more poker books and watch more episodes of WPT/WSOP than the opponents at your table, you will win. Therefore, poker is not gambling.

David Sklansky disagrees with you. Poker is gambling. You are deciding whether to take or lay odds based on whether or not you think the odds are in your favor (that is, if you think you have the best of it). This comes into play when you are bluffing, calling, or value betting.
