What are the skills for Poker?

Games and Sports skills cover playing games and sports. Gambling covers betting on them. You can bet without being a player (like two guys at a bar betting on a nearby billiards game, or entering a football pool) and you can play a friendly game (of football, billiards, poker, or whatever) without betting. If you intend to do both, then you had better have both skills. It's really no different from having Administration and Market Analysis, and using the first to manage a company and the second to play the market.
