Why may ACE be the right solution?
The phrase "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" means that it's better to have a small but certain advantage than the possibility of a greater one that may come to nothing. In card games, an "ace" is often considered the most valuable card, and having just one of them in your hand can be a significant advantage. Therefore, "one in the hand" can be a reference to an "ace".
