Loose

A loose player in poker is one who plays many hands. A loose player is not necessarily a donkey/fish, instead they may have a large chip stack or may have a low opinion of the skills of other players at their table.

e.g. "Timmy's played in like 85% of the last 30 hands. He is what I call loose."
