Folding to Cash
Tony Cousineau has built a solid reputation as one of the tightest players in World Series of Poker history. If there’s a WSOP money bubble approaching somewhere in the Rio, Cousineau can likely be found short-stacked and folding to cash.
All jokes aside, this approach has seen him cash an astounding 59 times at the series, good for an impressive 13th on the WSOP All-Time Cashes list.
Here in the six-max, Cousineau has built himself a respectable 11,500-chip stack in the first four levels, making him an overwhelming favorite to cash in this event already.
Unfortunately, his reputation wasn’t enough to get him a small pot that was checked down three-handed just moments ago. With the board reading ![]()
