 BURNandTURN.com :: Legendary Poker Hands - 1985 WSOP T.J. Cloutier vs. Billy Smith
Cloutier had often said that Smith might be the tightest player in the world when he's not drinking, he might be the number one player in the world when he was feeling a nice buzz and he was a terrible player when he was drunk.
The final hand began with Smith holding pocket 3's and he decided to raise, Cloutier proceeded to move all-in with an A-3, and Billy Smith decided to call.
Cloutier has tremendous poker skills and there is no reason to believe that he would not have outlasted Smith if he didn't move all-in with his weak hand pre-flop.
