Or you are a bit daft yourself? People just take a larger perspective.

A Christian who truly believes everything is God's plan does not believe there is such a thing as chance or an uncertain outcome since the outcome is always certain in God's mind. And since chance does not exist, poker can't possibly be defined as gambling.

A scientist who understands quantum theory knows that no event can ever be predicted with 100% percent accuracy so everything everywhere is always subject to chance to some extent and therefore there's no reason to single out poker as every single monetary transaction can be defined is gambling.

In between those two extremes, there's a continuum of opinions about how much skill and how much luck affect the games' outcome. The lottery is more gambling than poker. Investing in a US government bond is less gambling than poker (if USD is your currency). The ranking of poker and investing in the stock market on the gambling scale is highly debatable.
