K K is the second best starting hand in Hold’em Poker. This hand has also many nicknames, like "Cowboys", "Ace Magnets", “Kangaroos” or "King Kong". The Kings are a good possibility to win the hand if the flop comes Ace free. But it is a scary situation when the flop brings an Ace. The probability that an Ace appears in the flop is almost 20%. In any case the Kings have to be raised pre flop, because you can only be called by premium hands. After the flop you don’t have to give free cards. If there is an Ace on the flop, with a good bet you can find out if your opponents paired their Ace, in the other case (Ace free flop) you can be sure your opponents will fold or only call to see the turn and river. Whatever your opponents are doing, you will become the information you need for your next move.
Where are the nicknames coming from?
“Cowboys” - two cards with the strongest male picture.
“Ace Magnets” - Ace Magnets because the ace is the only card you don't want to see, but in the most of playing games you will J, that’s why it is a pessimistic expression of the fear that an ace will appear.
