In poker, a railbird is someone who watches the game from the sidelines or "from the rail" rather than actively participating. The term can also refer to someone who hangs around a poker room to watch the games and potentially get into action. Railbirds are typically not considered serious players and may be seen as mere spectators or fans of the game. The term can also have a slightly negative connotation, suggesting that the person is not actually playing but is simply there to watch or gossip about the games.
