A grinder is someone who tries to make the same amount of money that an average working man does by playing cards, rather than by working at McDonald's. You pay your bills.

Lyrics
With this hand, I’ve posted blinds a hundred thousand times. Yeah, been ‘bout that many rounds. After a while, don’t feel as much The ups and downs. Stack’s high, my heart don’t pound. Stack’s down, I don’t pout. And all these squares sit down. Think they can draw me out? They believe That it matters what they do. But, for all their superstitions, Each card remains one in fifty-two. Yeah, well, they come and go. Funny, how they can’t even see That what they believe Is not the same as what they know. Sometimes wonder, though I know This is no place you’d visit. Think maybe soon I’ll just run into you. Well, that’s not so bright. Now, is it? I do well, and you should see. Checks dance so erratic, somehow still settle with me. I believe That there was another track. But that train’s pulled away now, And I got nothing now. Nothing for to drag that back. Yeah, and I’ve had my go. Funny, when you can’t even see That what you believe Is not the same as what you know. I take my hit, but I keep grinding on. GRINDER: “Make it two.” DEALER: “Two bets.” GRINDER: “Nah, I know you don’t have it. Lay down, kid.”
