This is the Big Slick

by Dave Houston

A great hand that should be played in an aggressive way is known to be a “Big Slick”. It comprises an Ace and King, although for the most part the thing that I see is players losing their full stack with these two cards. The reason why we see the pot being taken away by a low-grade hand is because of this supposition that a certain hand is unbeatable.

This is where the game becomes a play of luck, is this really what you want? I’m absolutely certain that you wouldn’t want that feeling of uncertainty while you play. What I do is, I strive as hard as I can to reduce luck out of my way as I play poker, as much as I can. Remember that you are the captain of your ship, if you will it to be that way then you decide if you win or lose the game. Simple as that!
