Do you feel lucky?
Everybody who have played Texas Holdem will know how rare are Pocket Aces. Yes, you get them once in a while but the probability to get them is very little, specially if there are lot of players at the table. But how often to you see two players having Pocket Aces in the same hand?
The story:
I was playing some freeroll tournament in Full Tilt Poker, just to kill some time at work and it happened. I was kind of low on chips and I got “One-eyed jacks“.
I was feeling quite happy but soon I found myself all in with 2 other players. If you are a regular player at Full Tilt, or even if you’ve simply been learning about the game via sites such as http://www.onlinepoker.com/, then you’ll know that this in itself is a relatively rare occurrence. Well, imagine my surprise when they both pulled out Pocket Aces! I can bet on my grandmas cat that these two guys were cursing also behind their computers. Anyway, I couldn’t do anything so I started watching my downfall and kick off from the tournament. The flop 10-3-9 didn’t do any good to me, or that is what I thought. 8 on the turn gave me a straight draw and 7 on the river made me fall out of my chair. I got straight against two sets of Poker Aces! Sweet victory!
Conclusion:
From now on I’m thinking twice before going all in with Pocket Aces. The Luck is weird thing, like famous writer Terry Pratchet said - one-in-a-million chances come true nine times out of ten.

Poker discipline is something that all players should have as one of their main assets. If your discipline is poor, you should make it your highest priority to improve it. As a poker player, you will know that there are few things in life as exciting as landing a great looking starting hand in Texas Holdem.
