Walkers - Poker (gambling)


Players who walk frequently away from the table. Such people, and/or people who do so frequently, are called walkers. Depending on local conditions, walkers may be off getting Food, smoking, playing craps, or waiting for more fish to sit down. Most card rooms have well-defined but poorly enforced rules about walkers - i.e., that a player' s chips may be picked up (by the house, that is) after they' ve been gone for some specific amount of time. Too many walkers at a table can cause it to break, often through an unfortunate chain reaction. Once one or two players get up from the table, it makes it more likely for others to walk, or just leave.
