Why would you be surprised that aces are lower than deuces?  If aces are 
represented by 1, and deuces by 2, then 1 is less than 2.

Notice that because self.suit is compared first, an ace of spades is 
higher than a deuce of hearts.  It's only within the same suit that an 
ace is "less than" a deuce.
