Cloutier is tagged as one of the best tournament players of all time. He has won over 50 major poker events and has been in the top five money winners in the WSOP list for several years now. He was a very athletic student at the University of California in Berkley playing basketball, football, and baseball. He began honing his poker skills while serving at the US army, but his poker career kicked off after a knee injury that forced him to give up professional football for good.
He has written four poker books with Tom McEvoy: Championship Tournament Practice Hands, Championship Holdem, Championship Omaha, and Championship Pot Limit and No Limit Holdem.
