I think that if poker is a game of chance, even if some people say that you have to study blah blah blah, in the end you always need luck to win.

Poker will always be somewhat gambling due to the variance of the game.

But for people with good mathematical mind and willing to learn and study somewhat lessons the amount of gambling poker intails.

Poker is undoubtedly a game of chance. That's my opinion.

Yes, poker is generally considered a form of gambling because it involves wagering money on the outcome of a game that includes an element of chance. However, unlike games of pure luck (like slot machines or roulette), poker also heavily relies on skill, strategy, psychology, and decision-making. This distinction has led some to argue that poker is more of a skill game with gambling aspects, especially in the long run where skilled players can consistently outperform less skilled ones. Still, from a legal and regulatory standpoint in most countries, poker is categorized under gambling.
