I believe in God.
I think playing poker is a grey area. In some ways it is blood money because lots of people get addicted to gambling and lose everything playing poker. You could say that participating in poker is bad because of those people who lose everything. I think most people know about gambling addiction. Some of those gambling addicts can lose their family/ marriage, become homeless or worse.

I know someone who is a very good poker player and won a lot. He believes in God and quit poker for this reason because he didn't want to take money from addicts even if not everyone he played against was an addict.

The reason I play is because I think the addicts are going to play anyway. Somebody is going to take their money and it might as well be me.
I am currently more or less a break even player. If I start making money with poker I will consider donating some of it to Gamblers Anonymous. Good luck deciding what you feel good about.
Again I think playing poker is not a big sin unless you become addicted, but I think it is a grey area.
