IMO it's really not that different that playing against people who call down with bottom pair or chase draws regardless of the odds.  Bet enough that they are getting the wrong odds, watch them call, collect the EV in the long run!

True poker is like a soft science compared to my example.  But when you see players playing way too loose and badly, it's a pretty safe assumption that if you play even remotely well, you will be +EV against them.

I like the earlier post (forgot who posted it) where they explained that poker is still risky/gambling to the public, while investments with high risk aren't considered gambling.  A good investment banker could look at a company's stats, or a portfolio, or whatever, and make changes/buys/sells based on their expertise and previous experience.  This would give them a very likely +EV situation.

I don't see poker as being too different from this.  There's plenty of things that allow you to take the gamble out of poker.  If you're at a tougher cash game table where you aren't sure if you have an edge/+EV, you can always get up and change tables.  If your table is playing in a certain manner that might reduce your edge, there may be ways to change your play/image/etc to swing it back into the positive.
