Poker is for sure not a sport but it's not gambling either.  I think of poker as a mind game.

As for your luck, where is luck not involved in life.  Make a left and get hit by car would be bad luck.  Looking to retire on a 401K well you better be lucky if the markets go up.

Yes there is luck in poker but we also at time make our own luck. Poker is about math and reading the table and flop, turn and river textures.  Many time people will bemoan their bad luck and yes there were not lucky but did not lose all their chips due to bad luck but more to bad play.  Take Aces for one.  I should win 82% of the time.  They bet 2 black aces and get called and the flop is 678 of 2 hearts, they bet big and get called.  Turn is a ten and they bet again and get called.  River is a king of hearts and then they jam?  They will talk about the bad beat but never look and say could they have flopped 2 pair, turned a straight with a 9 or the rivered flush.  They will never talk about the bad Jam on a very bad run out. This is where the luck factor involves skill. To not make big mistakes when luck is not in your favour.
