The Butcher

The expression "Gentle as a lamb" doesn't reflect the poker mind. Successful poker players are innately aggressive. Like the famous Howard Lederer, they may show a cool exterior, but inside resides a competitetive "Killer instinct". They patiently wait, like a butcher, to take the lambs to a slaughter and gather up the money. The love of competition, winning the gamble, and dominating an opponent are the poker players narcotic. It's a true rush! Amarillo Slim epitomizes this attitude.
