Second question:
If we count all starting hands as 1326 are there included these pairs too?
AdKd and KdAd

1) Not sure what you are actually asking here .. combinations of what? Hold Cards? AK2 Flops? Hole Cards that connect?

2) AdKd counts as one combo, it doesn't matter how you 'see' the two cards as AK or KA.

There are some very good math folks here, but you need to be specific with what you want to know .. and it's probably already 'out there' somewhere .. GL

1) I Mean how to calculate overall combinations:
Let's say we have static 3 cards flop and 49 cards to be drawn, what quantity of combinations we can make with rest of 49 combinations?
Might be same logic as we count hole card 52*51/2, in our case we could have 49*48/2;

2) solved

I dont see how the answer is actionable ???
If you are New to the game you should probably concern yourself more with things
that would start to build a foundation of sound play. Studyng pre flop hold cards and how to play them as an example.
How playing them can differ based on postion and the action in front of you and so on.

I agree and a major element of a sound foundation is Expected Value (Is this play likely to be profitable?)

Understanding and applying EV math is important IMO. Whether focus should be on math or other factors at the very beginning of learning is somewhat up to the learner.

IMO understanding how your hold cards stack up pre flop on an ALL In pre flop vs 1 or 2 guys is Very Importent.
Or Understanding things like Pot Odds and what your expected EV is after the turn card is Far Far more impotent
than such a broad question asked by the OP.
