Aces out

The poker gods talk to poker players via unlikelihoods. Certain events are so unlikely that when they occur, you can't help but sit up and take notice. You can't help but feel that someone is trying to tell you something :-) For me, the clearest signal to stop playing for the night is when I hit the rail on a hand where I've been dealt pocket rockets. I call such an occurrence "aces out". Last night, I had an aces out in the fourth sit and go I played, and heeded the call to quit.
