Ace Magnet

We all know that there are nicknames for hole cards. AA is American Airlines, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Rockets. 72o is the Hammer. 95 is the Dolly Parton, Pocket Kings are the Cowboys. Pocket Jacks are hooks.

Well, I have another name for Pocket Kings. Ace Magnet. It is amazing how many times an Ace is flopped when I have pocket kings. While I may be over exaggerating this, last night, I definitely wasn't.

I had pocket Kings 8 times which saw a flop 7 times. Out of those 7 times, an Ace flopped 6 times. Talk about an action killer. I did turn a set on one guy that had an ace which helped things out.

Well, it took awhile this month, but I have finally worked by way to the top 25 in PTR for 50PL. This month has been a struggle.

Speaking of Pocket Kings.

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with Kh Kd
5 folds, SB requests TIME, SB raises to $3, Hero raises to $9, SB requests TIME, SB raises to $27, Hero calls $18

Turn: ($54.00) 2s (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: ($54.00) 5s (2 players)
SB requests TIME, SB checks, Hero ???

By this time, I have to believe that he doesn't have an ace. A solid TAG is going to bet this ace; although perhaps is scared by the river flush possibility. Does anybody bet here. If so, what is your bet amount?
