I often think about this question too. I did a little research about Christianity and gambling. From what I learned it seems if your motives are driven from a love of money and are looking to get rich quick you're on the wrong path. Check out these passages there are some good poker lessons in here.

[URL="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Proverbs%2013.11"]Proverbs 13:11[/URL] says, “Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.” Lesson: poker is one long session.

[URL="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/First%20Timothy%206.10"]First Timothy 6:10[/URL] says, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some  people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced  themselves with many griefs.” Examples of time I've been "eager" when I'm on tilt and want to get better right after what I believe is a bad beat. Never turns out good. The lesson: stick to your game, keep your confidence and press forward.

Luke 9:62But Jesus said to him, "([URL="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%209:62&version=NASB#cen-NASB-25364A"]A[/URL])No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." Lesson: the past is over (doesn't exist) learn from it, move forward. Don't let the past get you too down or too high. Play one hand at a time and when it's over it's over.

It doesn't matter if it's gambling or not. What matters is why and how you play.
