💡 FACT: “That” and “which” are often interchangeable.

For example,

Henry saw a boy eat a doughnut that fell on the floor. = Henry saw a boy eat a doughnut which fell on the floor.

The tricky part is when they’re NOT.

“Ace in the hole” 🂡 = a hidden or unrevealed strength

RM uncovered his ace in the hole during the “Run” music video. 📹

In stud poker, an “ace in the hole” refers to an ace card that is dealt face down and kept hidden until the showdown, when it is revealed. Since an ace is typically the highest-ranking card in many card games, having an ace in the hole gives a player a significant advantage over others, often ensuring a win.

Metaphorically, the phrase “ace in the hole” has come to mean a hidden advantage or resource that can be used if needed to ensure success or to gain an advantage over others. This usage extends beyond poker to refer to any secret or reserve advantage that can be deployed strategically when the time is right.
