Butch Dude

" ... is primarily an Internet player. Butch is part of the “Cool Guy Crew,” an exclusive poker club for the young and unemployed. This is Butch’s third live tournament and he’s prone to giving away tells. He plays a loose aggressive game and abuses the all-in bet, an artifact of playing online where the “All-In” button tempts lazy betting patterns. His current stack size will let him launch plenty of steal attempts. Butch’s skills and experience aren’t up to the level of his ego – he’s described himself as “the new poker superstar who will take the game to the next level.” In Joe Namath fashion, Butch “guaranteed” his Cool Guy buddies that he’d finish in the top three before the tournament even began. He built up his leading chip stack by winning two all-in monster pots, both times drawing slim. He may be the current leader, but he’s outclassed by four other players at this table. I don’t like Cool Guy’s chances… or his hat. " [ inside the mind of Phil Gordon ]
