Terms used about players

I keep seeing opponents being described as being a whale or a drooler. What is the meaning of these terms? (Fishes for sure but what kind?)

English is not my native language so it may be very clear to others?!

A whale would be a "fish," or bad player, with a large bankroll.

Jack,
Thanks for the explanation, it makes sense even though a whale is not a fish [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Now it's just the drooler to sort out.

whale -

In Las Vegas, a person who spends extremely large sums gambling (from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars). Hotel and casino management will go to great lengths in the perks and luxuries they will offer whales to entice them.
