A very wealthy, typically weak player who gambles large amounts.

In depth

A "whale" in poker refers to an extremely wealthy player who typically employs a weak strategy and engages in high-stakes gambling. These players prioritize action and entertainment over optimal decision-making, often making high-variance, fundamentally unsound plays. Their defining characteristic is their financial ability to sustain significant losses, making them lucrative targets at the table.
