About Me
Built, Not Given
Rob Kuhn is an ACR Team Pro poker player, high-stakes MTT and cash-game specialist, coach, and streamer. Originally from Barnesville, Ohio, Rob discovered poker at age 12, playing $5 basement tournaments with friends.
His early online career was anything but smooth. As an adult, he struggled heavily—making countless deposits and learning the game the hard way. During college, Rob made a defining bet with his mother: reach $50,000 in winnings within three months or stay in school. He hit the mark, left college, and committed fully to poker.
After the 2011 online poker shutdown, Rob relocated to Mexico, later splitting his time between Las Vegas, Michigan, and the Mexican Riviera. Today, he is an ACR Team Pro, founder of Elite Poker Coaching, a high-stakes competitor with millions in career earnings, a WSOP bracelet winner (2020 Online Series), and a regular Twitch streamer known for honest breakdowns and high-energy streams.

I compete where the games are toughest. Online fields like Venom taught me to play every single blind, pay attention, and respect table dynamics — because seasoned players smell fear instantly. Live poker requires similar focus — patience, endurance, and clear thinking. It’s not a sprint — it’s a test of staying power.
