Is poker gambling?

[Gonso]

That's just it, a lot of people want to go redefining "gambling".

If you start altering the definition, and then make a whole bunch of exceptions and assumptions (as Megenotia did above), then you can say it's not, but then you're just playing semantics.

For certain people in certain situations, poker can be +EV gambling, but that's still gambling. Most definitions have it as 'wagering on an uncertain event' or something similar.
