Poker is gambling, as you can not control the cards you are dealt or the cards that come out.

If you are drawing you can not control whether or not your draw completes, or if your opponent is drawing you can not control whether or no this draw completes and beats your made hand

The skill comes, in betting, where you can make players make mistakes by gambling, while you can gamble with the odds tilted in your favor.

and of course taking down pots uncontested

As far as the 'feel' goes, obviously in this instance it's stupid... but I have heard many top level players, and even some pros talk about 'feel'...Not in a retarded sense like this...but generally in race situations whether or not to gamble etc...eh its hard to explain, TPs gunna go apeshit on this comment anyway
