My name is Clonie Gowen and I play online poker exclusively at Full Tilt Poker.

If you want to learn more about my poker career, keep reading...

I started playing poker while living in Dallas and driving to Shreveport, Louisiana on the weekends. I earned national recognition when I followed up my Top 10 finish at the WPT Costa Rica Classic with a win at the World Poker Tour Ladies' Night event in 2003, then the highest rated WPT show ever broadcast.

I made two more television appearances in 2005, placing seventh in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold 'em Ultimate Poker Challenge tournament and third in the FullTiltPoker.Net Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.

I have served as a guest commentator for the Ultimate Poker Challenge and the European World Poker Championship in Dublin.

I am a regular columnist for All In magazine and am on the Board of Directors for the United States Poker Association, a non-profit association with a strong influence in the world of poker.

I frequently host tournaments and charity events and am now a partner in a poker school, teaching women (and men) the basics of tournament play and how to be successful in a competitive game where your own money is at stake.
