think your bull**** to be honest or exagerating a little bit
aa 8 times kk 5 times ak only 4 times
but even if your not ( i highly doubt it )
all players have bad days with theese hands their not unbeatable also the amount of players your all-in with decreases your odds of winning per person aa all-in vs 3 or 4 players is rubbish

That would depend Mr Cheezer on how you defined gambling.
Am I gambling for instance when I cross a busy road to get to the chip shop ? Technically, yes.
As with everything it boils down you your expected value. I for instance like fish and chips a lot, and am pretty skilled at crossing roads, even the busy ones. So my EV in going to the chip shop is EV+. If I use the pedestrian crossing then its even more EV+. I will amost always get fish and chips, and probably never get run over.
With some games, such as roulette for intsance, there is nothing you can do to alter your EV. Its EV- to participate and always will be and over a very long term will cost you money.
With poker you can do several things to influence your EV. If I always play against weaker players and exercise sound bankroll management for instance, then it will be EV+ for me to play these games long term and I will be profitable.
If I go out and get blind drunk, play against very good sober players, and just randomly press all in whenever I feel like it then of course I will have a negative expectation.

The easier reply and avoiding any traffic conundrums is.....
Poker in any one said hand is gambling whether you have the odds on your side or not.
Poker over a long series of hands is more like an investment if you put the odds on your side consistently.
HTH.

It happens, you just have to deal with it. Last night I got all my chips in when playing a $120 buy in MTT, with KK vs JJ and lost. I'm happy to get all my chips in pre flop to a pot containing 44 big blinds. That's as much as you can do, the rest is down to lady luck.
The funny thing was about 20 minutes later the guy that sucked out on me lost to a bad beat himself with KK. He went ballistic in chat calling the other player all the names under the sun, and alleging the game was r1gg3d and that he'd been cheated. And thats the thing,some people remember the bad beats but not the suck outs.

AA V KK - Say you had it ten times on trot for example. The mathematical probabilty of AA winning on the tenth time is 12.3%
I rest my case
