Would this rule change to poker make it not count as gambling

Funny enough there was a really big game at Yale that died out my Freshman year. Supposedly the hardcore regular players would oftentimes play out all-ins three times to reduce variance.

So do you think that limit poker is not gambling (because people are almost never all-in)?

There are many types of luck in poker, and all-in coin flips and bad beats are just one small subset.
