Poker isn't just a game of chance, but luck does play a role. If I can't get a good hand to enter the game all the time, what do I call it? Of course, good players can influence the game in many ways and don't rely on luck, but they need it too.

All poker hands involve the element of luck, but that doesn't mean that poker is gambling.

There is also the fact that in poker you play against other players and the human factor influences the decisions.

I do not see it as gambling, although we are playing for money...There is a certain amount of luck involved, but then again, such is the case with every sport...In my view, when the amount of skill surpasses the amount of luck, that activity is not gambling.

In my opinion, to be a game of chance, winning and losing depends exclusively or mainly on luck. Poker doesn't just depend on luck, skill is the main thing, often the worst hand wins.

Poker is a very gamble game. But it's also very interesting. The main thing is not to get too carried away so as not to lose a lot.

In my opinion, poker is more of a sport than a game of chance. Although there are players who turn this wonderful entertainment into an addiction :(

Poker is a game of skill, and it shows in the long-term results. ;)

No, a One or Two Outer does not appear randomly often on the board, but in 2.2 percent and 4.3 percent of all identical situations. These are clear numbers. And stochastics is not a frippery but a mathematical subdiscipline that says that in the long run this so-called miracle does not appear on the river in 97.8 and 95.7 percent. This is the opposite of "random".

A poker professional does not look at the individual case, but at the long-term result. And in the long run, poker is therefore never a gamble for him. If Pluribus had sometimes won, but sometimes lost, over these many thousands of hands against the poker pros, then one might ponder whether it was all just a matter of chance. But Plurisbus had consistently beaten them all, which says that the game is predictable. And it is thus approached with optimal concepts and executed just not a gamble, but a secure source of income. As long as you are better than the others.
It happens too often to me, this was yesterday.

It's a form of gambling alright, there is some skill in most forms of gambling but the house always has the edge

Where money is present, there is also a place for excitement.

If poker is a game and also a sport. Where you have to study and learn a lot to be one of the best in the world and be able to make a living from this game.

In any sport there is passion (that is, the uncertainty of the outcome of the game), otherwise the sport would not be interesting!!! Or maybe you know a sports game in which the winner does not receive a reward (prize) ???

Gambling, but unlike sports betting, there is a percentage of victory that depends on the player himself

Poker is more about skill than random, BUT still the random factor is there so it can be considered gambling

Yes, for the vast majority, as the luck factor only disappears when you've been playing solidly for a long time, maybe years.

It has the gambling side , but the more skill you have , the better bankroll management that you have , the less risky your poker sessions will be and they could be regarded as less gambling
