What is the chance to get at least two diamonds in your five card poker hand? Assume you just got dealt five cards in draw poker. Answer will be posted after everyone posts theirs.
Wouldn't it be 13/52 (odds of first card) times 12/51 (odds if you get first card you get second card)? That would be 156/2652 or 5.8%. Or loosely one in twenty.

Edit: Sorry, that would be for two diamonds dealt first two cards. Not sure how that translates into a five card hand.
