Default Probability Of A Suited Pocket

What is the probability of getting a suited pocket?

Is it (4 * C(13,2)) / C(52,2)

Thanks in advance.

I did a search for "suited pocket" and nothing came up...hard to believe.

That is the correct answer - if you think about it a little, you should see that the answer is 12/51 without having to use combinations.

Usually half the pockets in my suit jackets are sewn shut, and the pockets in my suit pants are too small to hold anything larger than an empty wallet. But I guess the probability of pocketed suits is pretty high. Suited pockets may just be the reverse of that, though pockets without clothes are just bags, aren't they?
