Key Hand

This describes a hand which appears to instigate a change in a players winning ability, for better or worse.

SoundPoker Says: This change may happen by a player's luck changing, and thus receiving better or worse cards overall. Or the change may be caused by a player being thrown off his game and unconsciously changing gears to a different style.

For example, "Those pocket Kings were my Key Hand. After my K - K was busted I couldn't hit anything and busted out shortly."
