Default minor error correction

switters,

I think you reasoning is correct, but your calculator is broke. The computations involving the choose function seem to be using the permutation function instead. When we fix that, your probabilities become:

4- flush = c[11, 2]* (3*13) /c[50, 3.] = 10.9%
4-straight = 2048./19600. = 10.4%
