I remember Nick Wealthall talking on the other channel about how a Poker Organisation should start some sort of pension scheme to look after elderly and former players, and he added he first came up with the idea as he was worried about TJ.
He's a great player and gentleman but he's never held onto any money for long. I checked out the other bracelet (it's from the Scotty Nugyen Poker Challenge?!?!?). If you thought Scotty had bad taste in shirts, check that bling out baby!
TJ clearly got some money for them and hopefully there will always be folks like Sexton and Tomko to look after him and keep him in action (although they should put a tag on him to set of an alarm if he's within five yards of a dice).
In Response to Re: GG TJ Cloutier? : MMM, Ms Chips! I'm afraid Mr TJ is not the first, nor will he be the last, WSOP Bangle Winner to go seriously Busto. I know three, personally. Half of the "faces" are busto, at a rough guess. Posted by Tikay10
That really puts things into perspective and a serious warning to all. Sounds like it isn't always sunrays and saturdays as a poker professional.
They should make the bracelets like the oscars, in respect that they dont belong to the actors they belong to the motion pictures guild and not the winner - they are only the winners on permanent loan so to speak, and are like sporting trophies and never actually belong to you, that way they could not be sold, if the WSOP did this

ladyfingrs this is nothing to do with him not being able to beat the game these days, trust me he can do that saw him win rather a lot when in vegas last year and blow it all and 4 times more on the craps table trust me he can still play Posted by barnsie
Oh so you an TJ are pretty tight knit (cwidt?) are you?
So what you seen him have a winning session @ a cash table or FT a donkament and that means he's a winning player?

This is the sad demise of a legend.
