Niki Jedlicka (Nikolaus Jedlicka) lives in Australia. Niki "KaiBuxxe" Jedlicka was first introduced to poker about three years ago, when he started playing with his older brother and friends. Niki "KaiBuxxe" Jedlicka has established himself as a formidable opponent online and on the tournament scene.
Niki "KaiBuxxe" Jedlicka steadily built a name for himself – and quite a bankroll – playing online under the name "KaiBuxxe". Niki "KaiBuxxe" Jedlicka gained a lot of attention for his performance at the Pot-Limit Omaha tables, playing at the highest stakes games on Full Tilt Poker. He is clearly not afraid to mix it up with the biggest names in the game - going heads-up with the likes of Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen and scoring some big wins.
As his online game developed, so did his interest in live tournaments. Niki "KaiBuxxe" Jedlicka made his first live appearance during the summer of 2006. Since that time, he's made numerous final tables, clearly demonstrating that his prowess extends beyond the digital felt.

Although Niki Jedlicka is young only 19 years old, he’s been both a millionaire and broke several times over, through online poker. His largest win to date is $2.1 Million in July, playing the 200/400 PLO games as KaiBuxxe on Full Tllt.
Niki Jedlicka got his start playing limit holdem online, moving all the way up to 300/600, which was the highest limits at the time. Then he started playing Pot Limit Omaha on Full Tilt and decided to focus on that game from then on. He actually worked his way up from 10/20PLO to 200/400 simply by taking shots at the higher games. He ran well and then just settled at the top.
Even though Niki plays very well, he’s shown to practice little to no bankroll management or table selection online. You might see lose $500,000 one session, but then win $750,000 the next. So don’t be surprised to see him drop down a couple limits one day to rebuild.
However, despite his lack of game selection, Niki’s loose, aggressive, and fearless playing style loosens up tight tables and creates plenty of action for him. He’s able to control tables by forcing other players to adjust to his style.
