Not really. While luck definitely plays a role, poker is more about skill and strategy. Good players use their knowledge to make smarter decisions, manage risks, and read opponents. So, it’s a mix of luck and skill.

Poker may not be considered 100 percent gambling, but the main problems is the fact that it contains some elements of gambling in a strict sense because you tend to depend a lot in luck, even though many people may claim that strategy plays a key role in poker.

Gambling means something that is purely luck based. Poker isn't purely a luck based game, if you play well, you are less likely to lose, or will be on winning side. Poker is somewhere between gambling and entertainment.
