Default Re: Clarification for the \"slow\" ones

5 = The number of players remaining. 6 really is C(4,2)...it's the number of ways to choose 2 cards (A-A) from 4 cards. There are 6 ways you can have A-A.

C(50,2) is the number of ways to choose 2 cards from 50 cards. There are 50 cards remaining in the deck, so the other players have C(50,2) possible hands because two of them are gone (K-K).
