Full explanation

A weak ace is an Ace paired with low kicker (e.g. A‑5).

Explanation. These hands can win low-level pots or pair poorly while being dominated by stronger aces. Weak aces are often trap-sensitive. Recognizing them helps avoid overvaluation and manage pot size when top pair but weak kicker appears.
