Poker Glossary
Fish
An inexperienced or weak player — typically calling far too much, chasing draws at bad prices, and folding too rarely. Fish supply the money that skilled play extracts; game selection is largely the craft of finding tables that have them. The classic warning stands: scan the table for the fish, and if you cannot find one, it is you.
At the table
