Most of the time I won’t fight hard to defend an argument or a point I am making, especially when I’m arguing with someone who only wants to fight and doesn’t care about the content. However, I fight pretty hard when idiots tell me I’m a gambler just because I play poker. Now, I’ll give you that the definition of gambling certainly would support these claims. That being said, when the word gambling is usually used it’s done so in a way that implies taking a risk that has less than a 50% chance of coming through. However in poker, skill when applied consistently determines the percentage of your return. It really shows a lack of understanding about the game of poker to say such things. I’m not a great poker player, but I have studied a large number of hours to become good enough to be a winner at low to medium stakes. To call me a gambler is unjust considering the work and time I put into the game. Poker is largely a game of skill and if generalize and call me a gambler, I call you an idiot.
