 >>> hands = ['ad', 'ac', 'as', 'ah', '7d', '8s', '9d', 'td', 'js', 'jd']
 >>> from collections import Counter
 >>> counts = Counter(hand[0] for hand in hands)
 >>> counts
Counter({'a': 4, 'j': 2, 't': 1, '7': 1, '9': 1, '8': 1})
 >>> counts.most_common()
[('a', 4), ('j', 2), ('t', 1), ('7', 1), ('9', 1), ('8', 1)]

So there are 4 aces.

 >>> hands = [hand for hand in hands if hand[0] != 'a']
 >>> hands
['7d', '8s', '9d', 'td', 'js', 'jd']
