In Poker, Winning the Hand means a Poker Player has won that round or hand of the game. Metaphor for wining.
The term poker edge can refer to either the advantage that a player has in a hand or to the actual player, in regards to when playing a game of poker.
A typical poker player folds 80% of the time.
Poker Tells include acts, gestures and other mannerisms that a poker player displays when trying to disguise the strength of their hand.
Yes. The rules of poker say that a player can fold his hand at any time on his turn. By folding he gives up the hand and he does not have to show. It happens quiet often that the player with the losing hand folds the hand. If he shows the hand he risks giving more information to the other players about how he plays his cards etc.
A freeroll in the game of poker is a situation in which a player cannot win the hand and cannot lose the hand. An example of a freeroll hand is when a person has 2 aces and other person has 2 aces.
An "all in" is a poker hand where at least one player bets all of his chips.

Mucking a hand is "poker language" for folding your cards, this is often said when a player lost on a showdown and does not wish to show, he mucks the losing hand. Another similar term is the term "Into the muck", this is basically saying people fold their cards, often used in poker shows to indicate a player folded.
This depends on which type of poker you are playing. I'll explain the most common ones. Texas Hold'Em -> Each player receives 2 cards face down in the beginning of the hand. Omaha -> Each player receives 4 cards face down in the beginning of the hand. Draw poker -> Each player receives 5 (standard draw poker) cards face down in the beginning of the hand. Stud -> Each player receives 3 cards in the beginning of the hand, the first 2 are face down, the third card is shown.
Yes, if the table you are playing has high stakes, you can even win in one hand much more than that. If you aren't a professional poker player, I don't recommend trying it, though. Or unless you are playing on FaceBook.
