ace high
Straight's best form
In card games, ace high describes a hand or game where the ace ranks as the highest card rather than the lowest.
A hand that is ace high has an ace as its best card but no other combination like a pair or flush: I've got nothing—just ace high.
Figuratively, ace high means highly regarded or first-rate, though this usage is dated.
