| Oct 25, 2021 at 11:09 | comment | added | Jaap Scherphuis | @Peter The first term in the brackets is all possible three card sets that do not have any card matching the pair you already have, so extending the existing pair is already excluded. It is only the addition of an extra pair or triple that remains to be subtracted. That said, Tommik's answer is a much easier way to count all the valid possibilities of three additional cards. | |
| Oct 25, 2021 at 11:05 | comment | added | Peter | @JaapScherphuis If the given pair is extended to three of a kind with the other three cards , the result need not be a full-houese. Is this considered in the above formula ? | |
| Oct 25, 2021 at 11:00 | comment | added | Jaap Scherphuis | It's complicated because you don't want the other three cards to give you another pair or a three-of-a-kind (making the hand a full house). Those are exactly the two cases being subtracted here. | |
