Poker News and Poker Gossip

Many people have been wondering who Kaibuxxe is on Full Tilt Poker.  According to many players, Kaibuxxe’s real name is Niki Jedlicka, an Austrian Poker Professional.

Niki has been tearing up the Pot Limit Omaha tables lately, and according to HighStakesDB.com, is already up $1.7 Million this month at Full Tilt Poker, using the name KaiBuxxe.  He has busted several Full Tilt Pros, including Gus Hansen, in the $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha games.

Niki also plays over at PokerStars under the username RealAndyBeal.

Considering he is only in his early 20’s, this young poker player is on his way to becoming very successful (as long as he doesn’t blow it all).

Here is a picture of Niki Jedlicka (not sure why he looks so angry):

If you haven’t see this video yet, it is pretty amazing.  This site is used to promote Blendtec Blenders.  To show how amazing this blender is they try blending all sorts of stuff.  Their latest blendable object, the super-popular Apple Iphone.

Don’t you just hate when poker’s worst hand cracks one of poker’s best hands with both players all-in preflop.  This is the stuff that TILT is made from:

Full Tilt Poker player, Whitelime made an amazing call against LarsLuzak to win a $103K pot.  Here is the hand:

I suspect the combination of the disconnect, check on turn and the shove at the end were his deciding factors in making this call.

Has Brian Townsend finally gone busto?  Well, not quite yet, but according to Brian’s Townsend’s blog he is currently on the largest downswing of his life.  Brian says his total downswing has reached a total of $3 Million dollars.  It all started after he lost $1.8 Million to Bobby Baldwin.  He tried to recoup his loses by playing online at Full Tilt Poker, but went a further $1.2 Million dollars further into his downswing.  Brian posted in his blog, “I have been getting destroyed by pretty much everyone I play.” He further went on to say, “I have almost completely busted my FTP account and may have to wire more money which would be very depressing.”

Does this potentially mean the end of sbrugby?  I wouldn’t worry just yet.  Brian plans to take some time off to assess his game.  “Often when I am in a downswing I need to rework my game but I think I have been playing well. I know things will turn around as this has happened to me a million times before just not on the same scale”, he posted.

On a side note, Brian says he has been doing very well in the omaha 8 games. “When I first began playing them I thought I wouldn’t have alot of sucess but I have really hit the ground running. I hope that I am not just running hot and that this sucess continues”, said Brian.
