I'm interested in knowing the method for calculating the chance of a player getting a hand within a range of hands?

For instance the %chance of getting AA-22, AKs-A2s, AKo-A7o, KQs-K9s, KQo-KTo, QJos, QTs, JTs ??

There are 6 ways to make each pair, 4 ways to make each suited combination, and 12 ways to make each offsuit non-pair. There are 52*51/2 = 1326 possible hands all together, assuming all 52 cards are unseen:

AA-22: 6*13 = 78

AKs-A2s: 4*12 = 48

AKo-A7o: 12*7 = 84

KQs-K9s: 4*4 = 16

KQo-KTo: 12*3 = 36

QJos: 16 (assuming this means offsuit or suited)

QTs: 4

JTs: 4
----------------------
286/1326 = 21.6%.
