Clonie Gowen's weak play on PAD

how do others think so far?

This table has been a very good example that demonstrates the differences between the truly elite tournament players (namely Ferguson and to some extent, Gus) as compared to the average, or above average tournament player, e.g. Clonie.

Just watching the way Gus/Ferguson play (and fold) certain hands, you can see the extra levels of thinking that they employ as compared to Clonie. Gus just called with 2 monsters in the first 2 hands (the trip Js one was by far the most impressive) and didn't go bust. Anybody think Clonie plays them the same? Not. Chris talks of moving in if he would have allowed Gus to bet the 2345 board and I believed he would have had he not tried to bluff it himself.

Long story short, Clonie has some skill obviously. She comes off as someone that's read HOH (nothing wrong with that), book-smart if you will, but lacks the instincts required to make it at the highest level.

And, as much as she said that Tony G. couldn't put her on tilt, she certainly seems to have the type of personality that is susceptible to tilt (e.g. her comments after her 3-barrel bluff got called).

The most depressing thing I've learned from watching this table? I play just like her. *sigh*

Gus needs to see some type of jaw specialist. His continued contortions of his mouth and jaw are bizarre to say the least. Ferguson...he needs to have those two humungous moles removed from the right side of his face. Damn, with his money, constant TV exposure, and avaialble time, why not excise the little Everests on his cheek? wtf

lol...hahaha...An old friend of mine had mole removal once and it was very successful. I agree, if you've got the money, it's a very simple and good procedure to have. My friend's skin has almost zero marks post-removal...so Chris should definitely consider it. LOL

Yeah, Gus is kind of weird...his facial expressions, weird comments (did you hear is "bow wow wow, yipee yo yipee yay comment?" ...i think he actually said "wow wow wow"..but anyway), and his crazy eyes make him socially awkward. But hey, it's just poker I guess...we've all seen crazier looking/behaving ppl I bet!

Well, that's kind of a mean thing to say! I think most ppl would argue she's the best looking poker player. But anyhow, Clonie has pock-marks? ...I didn't notice...

LOL to say "she's the best lookig poker player," isn't much.
And there are far more attractive female poker players out there...Cyndi Violette's a milf.

Anyone notice that whenever Clonie had a made hand, she always touched her face/head? When she took a stab at a pot, this never happened. I don't buy in on the fact that tells play a huge part in poker but this seemed pretty obvious to me.

I checked her website and many more sites, and they all say she won Miss Teen McAlester, Oklahoma.

havent u seen the full tilt commerical?

[Poker Face]

Yes, but on page 2 of this thread, someone wrote that it's false advertising because her website says she didn't win it. But all the websites DO say she won it. No big deal if you ask me. Kathy Liebert came in second. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
