Andrew Robl (born September 27, 1986), also known by his alias good2cu,[1] is an American professional poker player from Okemos, Michigan, who specializes in live and online high stakes cash games.[2] Robl admits going broke several times before finding success.
As a teenager, Andrew Robl discovered poker by watching ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker. He started playing the game with his friends – and in online cash games, even though being underaged at the time. During the summer between his senior year in high school and freshman year in college, he made between $70,000 and $80,000 playing online poker.[3] He plays under the screen name “good2cu” on PokerStars. He also used that alias on the now-defunct poker site Full Tilt.
At the age of 21, he moved to Las Vegas to pursue a profession in poker.[4]
In 2008, Andrew Robl appeared on season 4 on the classic poker TV show Poker After Dark on NBC.
Robl and Phil Ivey helped post a $2,500,000 bail for high stakes players Wei Seng "Paul" Phua and his 22-year-old son Wai Kit "Darren" Phua.[5]
Robl focuses on cash games but has had success in live high-roller tournaments. In 2013, he won the Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge for $1,055,699.[6]
Robl infamously lost a televised $532,000 hand of poker to Toby Lewis after his quad nines lost to quad queens.[7]
As of 2021, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,800,000. That sum was accumulated by cashing in 35 different events over the course of 12 years.
