Thus, there's more than just making money to the decision, which again counters the "poker's-not-gambling" crowd. The guys who play the big game absolutely are gamblers, and while I believe its all gambling, settling into a comfortable win rate while being over-bankrolled is indeed taking a lot of the gamble out of it.

This is where poker is better than professional sports. You can actually make a good living even if you're not in the majors, yet you can still play the game rather than be a coach.
