Cousineau European Experience?
They all seem to be getting involved but are less keen on showdowns, preferring to just talk about their hands as they get reshuffled in preparation for the next flop...
Just now Cousineau found himself bet off by an English gent, only to admit "I turned better - now I have two pair and a straight. But it was only a straight to the nine..." A brief silence as his opponent rakes in the few thousand pot.
"This your first time playing in England?" deadpans Barny Boatman. Cousineau laughs and reconsiders the pass.
"Have you never been to Ireland?" asks Padraig Parkinson.
"Have you never been to Sweden?" - the Swedish dealer caps the conversation.
