The bible doesn't forbid poker or gambling as such. It warns of trying to get rich quick and the love of money. A lot of poker players love money and even say it. Same can be true about people working at a job always trying to earn more money by working overtime.

There's nothing wrong with working 16 hours a day but the motive can't be for money. Same goes for playing poker. I treat poker like it's a race and try and win the tournament I play in. I'm not thinking I'm going to make $100,000 if i win this tournament. I'm focused on competing and playing my best. Also while I'm at work I'm not thinking I'm making x amount of dollars today I'm thinking how can I be of more service today. I'm looking for ways to be better than my competitors by providing better service. If I have to work 14 hours a day to do that then so be it.

There is times when you have money either when someone pays you for your service or product you provide them (in poker your of service to the house and other players and the house pays you if you do a good job and or things go your way). Once paid then the focus is on managing that money wisely by sharing it with people that might be in need, providing for your family and yourself. There is a whole art and science to that in itself and there isn't any guarantee that your going to be wealthy even if you seem to do things correctly. Just like there isn't a guarantee your going to win a poker tournament every time you play one.
