* AffablyEvil: Patrick is a perfectly nice and friendly guy despite being a warlock. He also seems to genuinely regret pushing Sam's buttons during their game, prompting Sam to go all-in immediately on Dean's behalf, simply because, as he stated twice, he actually ''likes'' Sam. It culminates in the simple, completely unironic exchange:

He also seems to genuinely regret pushing Sam's buttons during their game, prompting Sam to go all-in immediately on Dean's behalf, simply because, as he stated twice, he actually ''likes'' Sam. He also folds a round he could have easily won to allow an old man to win and get enough years to see his granddaughter's bat mitzvah. It culminates in the simple, completely unironic exchange:

* AntiVillain: Patrick is more than willing to let someone turn back decades and return to their prime if they're good enough to beat him. He doesn't cheat, nor does he abide by it. If you get into a game with him and lose, it's simply because he's a better poker player than you. Of course, he's had centuries of practice...
