Pocket rockets have one big advantage: pre-flop you can be assured nobody has a better hand than you. Even if somebody else has them too, at least it's a tie. I went out in last night's tournament with AA. But I had it until the river when a third king showed up for my opponent. That's when it's out of your control. Luck is always a factor.
I've also won the last hand of a big local tournament with AA. You should have seen my opponent go off on me because I slow played AA. I didn't think he could beat me, and I was right. But he tore me a new one for not going all in. His friends were saying "Dude, she beat you fair and square."
So deal me those Aces any time, any place.
