Aces out

I first used this blog post title on July 3rd of this year. "Aces out" is what I call it when you hit the rail at a tournament on a hand where you've been dealt pocket rockets. It's a painful way to go. It's even worse when you've been rivered. That's what happened to me in the second sit and go I entered last night. I was a 79.55% favorite after the turn to win the hand, but my opponent spiked trip sevens on the river, and that was all she wrote.

This made me curious to find out how many times I've had aces out in my sit and go no limit hold'em career. The answer? 9 times, in 980 tournaments.
