Overview

Robert Poolos is an American professional poker player who competes primarily in mixed-game tournaments at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood. He has amassed over $17,000 in live tournament earnings through consistent final table appearances in limit Omaha 8, H.O.R.S.E., and no-limit hold'em events.

Early Career

Poolos' first recorded live cash came in September 2019 at a WSOP Circuit event at Seminole Coconut Creek, finishing 27th in a $400 no-limit hold'em tournament for $587. He followed this with an 8th-place finish in a $400 no-limit hold'em event at the same venue in January 2022, earning $1,570.

Major Results

In November 2024, Poolos achieved his biggest victory by winning Event 9 of the Seminole Hard Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open. The $600 Limit Omaha 8 (Re-Entry) attracted 69 entries, and Poolos took home the first-place prize of $12,560.

Playing Style

Based on available results, Poolos specializes in mixed games, particularly limit Omaha 8, where he has shown consistent deep runs. His ability to adapt across different variants—from H.O.R.S.E. to no-limit hold'em—indicates a well-rounded skill set. He employs a disciplined, card-dead style when short-stacked, as evidenced by his all-in eliminations in limit events.
