There are 52 ways to pick the first card and 51 ways to pick the second card and two

ways to order the

two cards yielding 52x51/2=1326 possible outcomes when being dealt two cards. This gives a probability
of being dealt two aces of 6/1326=1/221. There are 4 ways to be dealt an ace out of 52 choices for the
first card resulting in a probability of 4/52=1/13. T
here are 3 ways of getting dealt an ace out of 51 choices
on the second card after being dealt an ace on the first card for a probability of 3/51=1/17. The joint probability
of being dealt two aces is the product of the two probabilities: 1/13x1/17=1/221.

A player is dealt two cards. The first card can be any one of 52 playing cards in the deck and the second
card can be any one of the 51 remaining cards. This gives 52 51 2 = 1,326 possible starting
combinations. Since the order in which you receive the first two cards is not significant, the 2,652
permutations are divided by the 2 ways of ordering two cards.

When there are two opponents, for the starting hands the number of possible combinations that the
opponent can have.
For 2: (50/2) (48/2) = 1381800
hands. For calculating probabilities we can ignore the distinction between the two opponents holding A J
and 8 8 and the opponents holding 8 8 and A J. The number of ways that hands can be distributed
between

n opponents is n! (the factorial of n). So the number of unique

hand combinations h against two
opponents is

H = For 3: (50/2 48/2) /2 = 690900

To calculate the probabilities we ignore the distinction between the 2 opponents
