Gambling with an edge can be done on various types of gambling if you are skilled, but its still gambling.
And even if u use BR management u cant really know that you are a winning player before u have made the gamble to try it out.
Yes, In my opinion Poker is gambling because the outcome of any single bet is not certain for that specific result.
I agree that it could be defined as gambling with an edge, but it is still gambling. Anyone who says it is not gambling is just fooling themselves.

I always tell people, starting with my wife, that I'm gambling. I'm gambling on the fact that most people in the world are not very bright. Once you put it this way, suddenly people start to agree.
