  1. I was wondering how the admins chose the name pocketfives for this site name. Is it one of thier favorite hands or something?
  2. <a name="a2">Why PocketFives.com?</a>

    As a site dedicated to online poker, PocketFives.com chose one the most culturally rich hands in online poker for its name. An article further explaning the derivation of PocketFives.com can be found here.
  3. Wow, I never knew about all that. I need to play 55 more often I guess.

  5. So I read this post while playing in the $27.50NL and found it so interesting and thought I should probably give more consideration to pocket fives when I'm dealt them. Within two minutes of reading this, I'm dealt 55. There was a 5x bb raise before it got to me and I might have folded but decided not to. Guess what.....a 5 on the flop and I ended up doubling up. I just thought the coincidence was nothing short of amazing.

    PS....The other player was holding A10 on a board of KA577
