All of those are movement.

Not by the definition of Move used by combat superiority.

PHB COmbat superiority said:
An enemy struck by your opportunity
attack stops moving, if a move provoked the
attack.

Move in that context is clearly a move action.

And still, a move is not what triggers the AoO of polearm gamble.

The additional trigger isn't a move, it's just going from non-adjacent to adjacent. It's usually achieve through a move, put could be achieved through teleportation, shifting, sliding and getting pulled or pushed.

You are correct, the inital trigger need not be a move, but what I'm saying is that just because the trigger is replaced does not mean the rest of the rules regarding Opp Attacks are replaced. I'll wait until I get home to my book to continue on about this, however. For now I'll just sit on the fence and assume it could go either way.

But since the trigger itself isn't a move, I'd rule that combat superiority doesn't apply.

You are overgeneralizing. You are correct in that, if the "motion" that triggers the feat isn't a move action, (ie. a shift, push, etc) then Combat Superiority would not kick in. However, if the "motion" that triggers the feat IS from a move action, then Combat Superiority kicks in like it's supposed to. Nothing about the feat inherently negates the possibilty to use Combat Superiority.

Really? Then why did they use the general term when the specific term "move action" would have been much more clear?

To me "move" rather than "move action" clearly means any movement.
