= 1 - C(36,3)/C(48,3) = 58.72%
Or 1 - (36/48)(35/47)(34/46)
I don't do this stuff enough any more and should leave it to the experts.
I would say however, that it might be less than 12 cards when the players have ranks in common, which will be fairly often. We know it is 6 cards for one player. With two players, there are 3 cases. No ranks shared, 1 rank shared, 2 ranks shared.
And a 4th very rare case, where all 4 hole cards are the same rank (but the OP conditions do exclude this one).
