Why does 2+2 call poker gambling?
 

I find it a bit ironic that one section of the site is called Internet Gambling and it contains all the threads about Internet poker, bonuses and software. If I were an opponent of Internet poker, I'd cite the leading site naming as support of poker being gambling. Perhaps the powers that be for the site should consider renaming it.

They call it gambling because it is gambling.

Poker is gambling. Most here would describe it as a game of skill that involves a component or degree of luck. (Regs can feel free to further polish my definition but I think OP gets the gist.)

If betting $10 with your buddies on who will get the best score at your Thursday night bowling game is gambling, so is poker.

If gambling is betting on a game of chance, poker is not gambling.

If it were not for the fact that the word "gambling" has some bad legal status, I wouldn't care whether you called it that or not.

RGL,

Don't listen to these grumps. Wagering money on the turn of a card is most certainly not gambling.

Also, ingesting a beverage through your mouth and swallowing it, is most certainly not drinking.

Also, getting blown by an intern is most certainly not having sexual relations with that person.
