I don't like to think of Poker as gambling, I used to Gamble years ago in my teens and early twenties, but gave it all up before I got married, I would gamble on any Card games, Slot machines, Horse racing, Dog  racing, Football games even 2 raindrops racing down a window pane, but when I got seriously involved with the Woman I was intending to spend the rest of my life with, I gave it all up.
Poker to me is a Hobby, nothing more, it is a game, I am happy playing, especially with other peoples money, and when you gamble there will always be times when you lose money, I have never lost a single penny of my own cash playing Poker!
I started playing free-rolls, then used my winnings to buy-into SnG games, and never made a single deposit on any site, so it is impossible for me to lose my own money.
People are always asking me if I am afraid that I might be addicted to Gambling? I always say "I am not addicted to gambling, Poker Yes! gambling No!" and there is a difference, Poker is like any other game, and I can play for peanuts and still enjoy the game, For me the thrill of Poker is the challenge to be number one, winning money from Poker is not what drives me to play, even if I was playing a game like Chess, the only thing I play for is the win.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
