Spanish term or phrase: bien alias

This comes from a document about playing the game of poker, in the section on strategies.

CONTEXT: "En fin, los sistemas de juego son infinitos, y dependen tanto de las cartas que nos sirven como del temperamento de nuestro adversario, e incluso del nuestro propio. Hay quien, con una K y un as, pide tres cartas. Es una persona audaz, que espera poder ligar dobles parejas ***bien alias***, o un three-of-a-kind de cualquiera de ellas, o incluso, con mucha suerte, un posible póker de una o de otra."

considerably/very high

Explanation:
Me suena a un error que debería ser "bien altas". Podría estar equivocado, pero no hay significado de "alias" (al menos en el diccionario de la RAE impreso) que quepa aquí. "altas" tendría sentido al tratarse de pares (así se dice en México) de valor alto.

NFG Not for points / I'm supporting Marcelo

Explanation:

Stuart, look at this. Does it seem similar to your text?
Because I'm quoting it and it supports Marcelo's typo theory:

[...] En fin, los sistemas de juego son infinitos, y dependen tanto de las cartas que nos sirven como del temperamento de nuestro adversario, e incluso del nuestro propio. Hay quien, con una K y un as, pide tres cartas. Es una persona audaz, que espera poder ligar dobles parejas bien altas, o un trío de cualquiera de ellas, o incluso, con mucha suerte, un posible póker de una o de otra. Lo normal es que, como máximo, ligue una pareja e incluso dos, pero no mucho más. Sin embargo, nadie puede asegurar nada. Los más valientes en este juego, o lo pierden todo, o ganan sumas cuantiosas. Y no siempre por la suerte. En un juego de envite, el azar es algo secundario, ya lo hemos dicho. Si no siempre, sí las más de las veces. [...]
