Re: What\'s the REAL reason(s) so many \"top\" players are busto?

What about Nikki Jedlicka specifically? I think a number of 2p2ers have a lot of respect for his game, and I KNOW Phil Ivey does. From what I've read it was a $1.1m downswing (rumored to be since he signed with FTP) that busted his online BR and has him saying he isn't planning on redepositing anytime soon. Was he just playing too high the whole time (during his $2m+ upswing AND $1m downswing? What is it with so many HS players (DB comes to mind) living the high life one day, and seemingly crippled the next?
[/ QUOTE ]Kai's upswing was more like $4 million, went from being down $1/2 million at high stakes PLO to up $3.5 million. I think he is actually a long term winner at $200/$400 (losing players don't tend to have 100 buyin upswings even in PLO) he has just lost some confidence after his first monster downswing.
