That means, to give up. Like if you have bad cards and you know your not going to win, you fold. So you give your cards back to the card guy and then you just wait until that round is over.
When you "fold," you drop out of the game because you think your cards are not good enough to win. You just place them face down in front of you and say "I fold."
If you think you are going to lose then you fold.
Muck (or Mucking).
With the increased popularity of poker, folding poker tables have become a hot ticket item! Usually, people begin their game nights by playing cards on their dining room table. This is usually not recommended because the existing table top can be scratched by poker chips. It is so much easier to host game night when a folding poker table can be used. These tables were created for just this use. They are easy to set up, and when the game is over, they can be folded and put away until the next time they are needed. Clean up takes just a matter of minutes. Entry level tables can be purchased for just over $50. For less than $100, a good folding poker table can be bought. These tables will work well for most uses, and will last for years. Added accessories will usually drive up the cost. When considering accessories, some things most consumers want are cup holders and a place to hold poker chips. If there is any additional cost incurred for these items, it is usually minimal. Consider the number of players when deciding which folding table to buy. The poker table should be large enough to accommodate all the players. Most folding poker tables are simply placed over an existing table. These tops are very popular because of the affordable price and the professional appearance they provide. Solid, stand alone poker tables are available, but are quite bulky and expensive. Typical folding poker tables are oval-shaped. These work very well, but there is another option available. An octagon-shaped folding table is an excellent choice. Both of these tables may come with a carrying case. For portable parties, this carrying case is tremendously helpful. If a case is not included with the folding poker table, the cases can be purchased separately at a reasonable price. For dual play, some folding poker tables allow for a game of blackjack to be played on the reverse side. For a few additional dollars, the host can offer two games instead of one.
