This is a neet way of doing it but I am sorry to say I don't understand it. I would have done it with inclusion-exclusion which gets complicated. If you have time could you quickly explain your terms.

Also, in case this is not clear:

6/(52 choose 2)

comes from the fact that there are 6 possible AA hands out of a total of (52 choose 2) hands. Now there are only 50 cards left, which explains the chancing denominators.
