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
