Default Re: Studugi question

Ok, I figured out what a badugi is. There are C(52,7) possible 7 card hands. For a hand NOT to contain a badugi, it would have to contain only 3 or fewer suits. So, if we exclude one suit (13 cards) that leaves us with C(39,7) hands which are 3-suited or less. So the percentage of hands which DO contain a badugi would be 1-[C(39,7)/C(52,7)]=88.5%. Doest that sound right?
