Joe Russo is a professional poker player from the United States. As of now, he ranks 23,981st in the world and has accumulated tournament earnings of $135,002. He performs consistently in mid-stakes events and is known for his solid fundamentals and patience.

Joe Russo began his career playing online poker before gradually transitioning to live tournaments. He has cashed multiple times in side events at the WSOP (World Series of Poker) and WPT (World Poker Tour), but has yet to win a major event. His best result came in a regional No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, where he finished in the top five.

Russo's style leans conservative, with an emphasis on hand selection and positional advantage. He excels at post-flop hand reading and range analysis, avoiding excessive risk in large pots. In cash games, he often controls opponents through consistent betting and balanced bluffing frequencies, but tends to fold and preserve his stack against aggressive players.
