Exactly!

That sounds a lot like computer science, not math! I know you know there are 205 million combinations on the board possible. I'm wondering if I can come up with the simple, elegant way to calculate the ratio.

Well, that's a lot less fun. I'll fiddle around with my own calculations and spare you folks the pain, unless someone else is actively interested. I realize it's of limited use!

Remember, the order the cards come up doesn't matter in this calculation... and to make your life easier, you can forget about suits... that will dramatically reduce the permutations as well.

The point is, that's where the numbers come from. And the bigger point is once you believe that, there's no need to recreate it.

I'm actively interested. I'm having a hard time with suits, though, and it's not a lot of use if I have to pretend that flushes don't exist...
