My Theory: Holdem is Absalom, who is working undercover for Moriah to take his revenge against Kaido. He got his codename for his mastery of the game(s) using his ability to cheat. He is also the one that reported the Kid-Hawkind-On Air alliance to Kaido, who literally jumped in to stop them from attacking Shanks because he has a grudge against him since he opposed him during the Marineford Arc.
