Ace Out Poker
Ace Out Poker
Ace out: To win(perhaps by bluffing) while holding an ace high card (that is, a relatively worthless hand, since it doesn't contain even a pair).
This phrase passed into general usage with the meaning of winning by deception or just barely beating someone.
(If your opponent holds a totally worthless hand, an ace-high hand would just barely beat him; that is, you would ace him out).
