Submission: "silverbullets"

The metaphor of the silver bullet applies to any straightforward solution perceived to have extreme effectiveness. The phrase typically appears with an expectation that some new technology or practice will easily cure a major prevailing problem.

Given the obvious fact that "bullets" is a well known nickname for pocket aces, the strongest hand in hold'em, I think that aligning this with the "silver bullet" as described in italics is basically a perfect combination for a poker instruction site. The connotation is one of a simple and effective solution to a common problem (struggling at SSNL/uNL), as well as strength (pocket aces, or "bullets") and monetary value (silver being a precious metal), as well as uniqueness or speciality (in folklore, silverbullets are powerful, valueable and rare). The other more subtle "bullet" connotation is one of aggression, confidence and fearlessness.

Yes, I did put a decent amount of thought into this.

(though it is one submission only, I don't think it would count as another sumbission to mention other possible combinations such as "silverbullet poker" or "silverbullet training" or somesuch)
