My take on the first part about being a good player.  You have to look at it at the most basic level.  The object is to win the most chips as you can.  Good players do this by making the best decision for each situation that comes up.  Because there are a limited amount of variables good players see the same situations over and over and capitalize on them.  They use strategies that attack weak points in other players decision making.

I think you are giong to have trouble defining exactly what a gambling "problem" is.  Its a subjective term.  That needs to be done before your second question can be answered properly.

I do have some thoughts on gambling and poker. I think all poker players have to have a little gamble in them.  Whether its a problem or not depends on who you ask (or if they are winners imo). For some the gamble is the only reason they play, for others its an unfortunate part of the game. Players kinda vary from those two extremes.  I don't think its logical for poker players to avoid gambling.  They want to edge on the side where they are the favorites but imo its still gambling. Its a part of the game that we all have to deal with.

This.
