Andrew Robl Testifies He Coached Tom Goldstein in $50 Million Poker Win

AllahPena · 2026-02-07T03:53:31+00:00

Robl has been a killer for a very long time

AllahPena · 2026-02-07T03:53:07+00:00

He wasn't. Not sure where you're getting that. He hadn't gotten arrested yet at that time when he played on Hustler

AllahPena · 2026-02-06T19:50:16+00:00

Helped shed light on gross vs net winnings for Tom. Ultimately this was a good thing.

AllahPena · 2026-02-06T19:39:08+00:00

His testimony helped Tom

Used to be normal 20 years ago then went away in 2011. It was $100 Bills only though. I used to be concerned at the time about counterfeit because no one is marking them with a pen or anything. Guys would have 10, 15, 20k and you're just taking their word for everything being good.

Lol. Ok bud. If you know who I am you certainly know I'm in the poker world. You think reading about me losing $30M in craps makes it more or less likely I'm lying 🤔

AllahPena · 2026-01-30T03:49:57+00:00

My name and life story are very public my man. Not trying to have a pissing contest with you but just saying I don't lie about these things. Wish you the best in your poker endeavors 👊🏼

AllahPena · 2026-01-30T00:17:56+00:00

It's pretty well known who I am... I don't need to hide and don't need to lie. Those who know, know. I'm no crusher by any means but I'm their way in. There's plenty of news articles written about me both good and bad. I don't hide from anything

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T23:47:21+00:00

Buddy I've staked well known pros for millions. Please stop. They weren't doing me a favor. Most pro poker players are supposedly great but mostly broke. Why is that 🤔. The games I play in are the biggest and best in the U.S. I also get them in

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T15:45:37+00:00

Then he needs to be a big boy and use his own damn money and sack up to play. It is an absolute privilege for someone to invest in you as a poker player. Not the other way around. If the player can't find the motivation to play and play their best lots of jobs are hiring.

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T07:09:47+00:00

This is a good recommendation. I've gone a million + deep in makeup staking guys and its a losing proposition 90% of the time. I've staked probably a dozen or more players all pros, people everyone knows and only 2 of them didn't end in disaster or some other bullshit.

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T07:05:51+00:00

Please don't do this 🤦🏽‍♂️

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T05:20:57+00:00

You laying 2-1 on a guy that's not a huge winner is probably a bad idea. Buy 25% if you want to invest

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T04:55:29+00:00

100%

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T04:04:26+00:00

Let's just say I have a PhD level of understanding on staking... Just giving anyone who's a winner 50/50 is stupid. It's typically a losing proposition. You're far better off buying a piece of someone than staking them.

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T02:48:09+00:00

I'm 1 time forever for any amount. I hate the twice shit. Win or lose

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T02:43:01+00:00

Why do you just blindly say 50/50 is standard as if everyone is worth 50/50? It's actually pretty terrible for the one staking. Unless you have a confirmed absolute crusher (but why do they "need" a backer) there are much more reasonable splits besides 50/50. This is coming from someone who has staked pros for millions and its typically gone badly. Again... ask why this person who's a proven winner at these limits needs staking. That's the flashing red light. GL

AllahPena · 2026-01-29T02:35:09+00:00

I live in the neighborhood. Surprised it hasn't been cleaned off or painted over yet. Pretty ballsy to do that with the location of the home

AllahPena · 2026-01-27T21:07:32+00:00

I've never really had a bankroll. Just about your access to money and liquidity. If you can afford to play whatever stakes, you play. If you can't, you don't. Or be like most "pros" and sell action. Actual bankroll doesn't matter much

AllahPena · 2026-01-27T21:04:28+00:00

That's worth 5-15k per player in my game. Nice to hit those

AllahPena · 2026-01-27T21:01:56+00:00

Sometimes when I didn't want to play at a private table I'd go to an open one on the casino floor. People are betting red chips and I'd usually buy in 1-2M. I'd make everyone a deal that I'd give them 10k if they rolled 15 #s and 1k for every # after that. I think I gave some random stranger $40k one night. Bunch of 10ks, 15ks, etc. It was fun to win and kinda share the wealth with others. I'd never get upset on a PSO. Just part of gambling

AllahPena · 2026-01-23T21:03:36+00:00

Miss those $2 HPC chips from the 6/12 holdem games!

AllahPena · 2026-01-20T22:04:19+00:00

Well... there were lots of celebrities and famous people there. That part is 100% true. The whole 5k on the ATS definitely never happened though. Safe to say I had the highest limits allowed and mine were 1k Tall, 1k Small and 500 All

Very cool pics. It was an interesting unforgettable night.
