Dude said,"Almost any ace is good in a shorthanded tournament"

What does almost mean? I am thinking about playing a shorthanded NL tournament with rebuys. I usually don't play bad hands well, but in tournaments I have got in touch with my Jackal side. What is "almost any ace?"

It means that Ace of clubs just isn't good enough. Other 3 are good, but ace of clubs will just get you into trouble.
You should really check basic poker theory. Have you never heard of a very well known poker concept of not playing ace of clubs?

While playing like a jackal might be good I would take the mouse approach to short handed sitngos then in no time you can be the eagle!
