I have a question about finding a probability of 3 of a kind using combinations. This is a solution I originally came up with: $$\frac{\binom{13}{1}*\binom{4}{3}*\binom{12}{1}*\binom{4}{1}*\binom{11}{1}*\binom{4}{1}}{\binom{52}{5}}$$ That is, choose a face value for 3 cards, choose a value from the rest of 12 cards for another card, and choose another value for the remaining card.
When I compared my answer with the provided one it was wrong, so I looked for a solution. This is what I came across: $$\frac{\binom{13}{1}*\binom{4}{3}*\binom{12}{2}*\binom{4}{1}*\binom{4}{1}}{\binom{52}{5}}$$ The logic is the same, but we choose 2 face values out of the remaining 12 rather than choosing 1 value from 12 and another value from 11.
This is the part that I don't quite understand. Why instead of doing $\binom{12}{1}*\binom{11}{1}$ we do $\binom{12}{2}$? Based on that logic, I could then say that $$\frac{\binom{13}{3}*\binom{4}{3}*\binom{4}{1}*\binom{4}{1}}{\binom{52}{5}}$$ should have been the solution as we would just pick our corresponding 3 values straight away and then choose the cards themselves(out of 4). I feel really confused about that. Can someone tell me where my logic is flawed and why we choose 1 out of 13 and then 2 out of 12 instead of choosing 1 out of 13,1 out of 12 and 1 out of 11 or choosing 3 out of 13?
