Andrew Robl: The Rise of an Online Poker Pro in the Mid-2000s


Andrew Robl, known by his online handle good2cu, was a prominent online poker player who started playing high-stakes games at the age of 23. Robl began playing poker with friends in school and quickly moved to online high-stakes games while studying at the University of Michigan. He dropped out of university to focus on his poker career, earning $100-200 per hour.

Robl moved to Las Vegas and lived in a high-rise apartment, playing poker from home and enjoying the perks of his wealth. He played up to 10 tables simultaneously, analyzing opponents' statistics and strategies to gain an edge. His success and the rise of online poker professionals challenged the traditional offline poker players, leading to events like the Nets vs. Vets showdown.

Robl's strategies and success stories highlight the transition from traditional offline poker to the more analytical and data-driven online poker scene. His ability to adapt and excel in this new environment made him a standout figure in the poker world.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
