Ace in the Hole
1. An Ace as a downcard in Stud games; an Ace that a player is not required to show.
"I had an ace in the hole and an ace in the door, but I was afraid if I made too large a play, my opponents would fold. I decided to just slowplay it."

2. A secret advantage; a trick not revealed until its use.
