These may not be Christian values, but...
From an economic standpoint, I find professional poker playing to be unethical.
You are taking money from people without providing a product or service in return.
ok, ok...I know that yes, the losing players are stupid and it's their fault for losing their money, and it's legal, and so on and so forth. But regardless, your presence at the table hurts their EV, and thus what happens is you spend time taking money from them (which they could go on to spend somewhere else), while you could be providing a service in exchange for a similar amount of money.
