If I am dealt an ace and ten of hearts, what is the probability I will get a flush? And what is the probability I get a straight?

I want to say the flush is:
(11 choose 3)/(50 choose 3)

And for the straight:
(12 choose 3)/(50 choose 3)

I am not sure. Any ideas?

Hi asept! :smile:

Please don't multiple-post.

And you'd get more answers if you told us what a straight and a flush are.

(and try using the X2 and X2 tags just above the Reply box :wink:)
