I am a little confused, I heard somewhere that the probability of getting pocket aces is one in 221. yet when i did the math of 4/52 * 3/51= i got one in 225. What am i doing wrong?

Aces can be dealt 6 ways as follows:
ClubDiamond
ClubHeart
ClubSpade
DiamondHeart
DiamondSpade
HeartSpade
There are 1326 possible hands. 6/1326=1/221
The top of the http://www.flopturnriver.com/essays_ace_in_hand.html page has more on this.
By the way, I don't see where you came up with 225.
(4/52)*(3/51)=12/2652. Notice that this is equal to 6/1326 or 1/221.Quote:
