Message: [QUOTE="TheNoobie, post: 2272537, member: 110710"] Yep. Surely it is a gamble. Put yourself into that situation. You have the nuts and you place a bet, lets say 10 dollars. You bet your money, but you are absolutely sure that they cannot be taken away from you, because nothing can beat you. Most of the time it isnt just like that. You bluff, you get outplayed, you get bluffed.. When you bet money that will not on 100% come back to you doubled or tripled - you are gambling. And one more thing - those of you that say that luck takes only a little part of the game, this is so not true. Maybe luck takes no place when pro's play live, but when you play tournaments or cash games online, I'd much rather be lucky, than good. So, you are betting hard, bluffing me and so on but if Im lucky enough I will hit my cards and beat you. So .. x) And the guy that compared poker to chess.. thats a big LOL. Im 99% certain that if I play headsup with worlds best poker player, lets say 50 games, Im sure that I will win atleast one of them, because I will get lucky atleast once. But how about you play against Worlds best chess player and see if you win 1 time in 50 games. Ive played Chess long enough to know better. Whether you like it or not, luck is a huge part in poker, and it is gambling. And luck takes no place in Chess whatsoever. I believe all of you know the definition of the word Gambling, but Im not sure why you are trying to change it. Just because you like the game? You dont have to prove anything to anyone, but it simply is gambling. If someone is not okay with that, he just should not play. You can also say that betting on horses isnt gambling, and playing dices isnt gambling, but it is and I think you all know that. [/QUOTE]
