I actually mean playing poker professionally,like taking part in tournament's,etc.
Do you think that it is considered all across the world as gambling?
yes it was a gambling but it also becomes a job because some people don't have the main job besides enrolling world tournaments of poker and also some of them could make living from their poker activities because i was heard too the prizes from poker tournament is so huge

Partially yes.

For example, bluffing is taking a huge gamble. The main difference between professional poker and poker on the internet would probably be reading the cards of the opponents, doing the right betting strategy, et cetera. It it also a psychological game, which takes a lot of time and effort to master.

As long as you cannot predict the outcome, it's a gamble.

Well poker is not just a game based purely on luck. That is why if you can master how to bluff and expose people, you will be able to win a lot in poker. There is already a lot of famous world examples that lives purely on pokers.

I think yes, that is the reason why all the casino has poker game, when it involves betting money is called gambling, but the one you are talking about is the competition so in my point of view its not gambling because the money you can win its the prize money, not the money you win during the game

If money is still involved then it is still gambling. If you play without any bribe then that's not gambling. Simple as that.
