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...

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.
