Is poker "gambling" or "investing"?

I was arguing with my colleague during lunch break about this. Do you think poker is a form of investment or gambling? I see both sides but strictly speaking if you don't track your bankroll, you’re gambling. Once your emotions interfere, it turns to casinos very quickly. You need discipline and a good plan to play poker.

I consider it an investment. Although sometimes I do like to gamble in micro stakes. Especially if I've been on a heater, and build the prizepools in our home games if/when I rebuy.
