Alligator Blood

Definition

The ruthless, cutthroat mentality required to destroy your best friends at poker without hesitation or mercy. Coined by poker legend Doyle Brunson, it's the ability to separate friendship from competition when money's on the table. It's not personal, it's just alligator blood—cold, calculating, and ready to take everything.

Example Usage

Sarah's got alligator blood—she took all my chips and didn't even feel bad about it.
