The Online Railbird Report: Jedlicka Wins $216,000 in Quiet Summer Month

It’s been a long summer in which the poker world was mostly focused on the action in Las Vegas. The World Series of Poker made for some quiet months at the high stakes online but has come to a close and action is slowly picking up pace.

The player that won the most online this recent month is Austrian pro Nikolaus “Niki” Jedlicka according to online tracking site HighStakesDB. Jedlicka played a total of 7,610 hands on PokerStars under the monicker of “RealAndyBeal” and made $216,410, almost $28.50 per hand played. That catapulted him to +$258,750 total for the year, though he’s still $443.202 in the red overall on that account during his lifetime.

Jedlicka famously went on a once in a life time heater on Full Tilt Poker back in 2007. Playing under the screen name “KaiBuxxe” he went from down $426,000 to plus $4,030,000 in a single month. It didn’t take long for Full Tilt Poker to sign him as a Red Pro, which would ultimately prove to be his downfall. Under his new account “Niki Jedlicka” he lost month after month, ultimately finishing down $3.837.844 which he’s documented himself, calling it the “red pro curse.”

We’ve combined the three known accounts into a single graph to give you an idea about the enormous swings Jedlicka endured in his poker career. It should be noted that the compiled data is not conclusive as only $25/$50 and up are registered and not all hands are tracked.
