The best hand you can receive in hold'em is pocket aces, and the best time to receive them is when you're in the big blind. No one will credit you with having them. It's even better when your tournament life is at stake. Getting rockets in that situation, when you so desperately need them, is like being saved by the cavalry. Last night, in the second MTT-R NLHE I played, I got rockets when in dire straights; I was in the big blind as the short stack, and the ante plus the big blind put me all in.
This is an excerpt from my January 4, 2108 post, which I titled "Timeliest tournament hand ever". Last night I had my second timeliest. Once again, I was short stacked. Once again, I received rockets. Once again, I got a much-needed chip infusion. The only differences? 1. I wasn't in the big blind. 2. I didn't fall in.
