Aced out

I call it "aces out" when I hit the rail in a tournament with a holding of pocket rockets. Last night, in the MTT NLHE I played, I was aced out instead; that is, I lost to an opponent who had rockets. I'd already made the money, so I didn't feel too bad. You need to play super cautiously when you're on the money bubble, but once you've made the money, it behooves you to throw caution to the wind. The reason? You need lots of chips, in a hurry, to be able to make it to the final table.
