Not really...
You figure there are 13 cards in a deck with the same shapes....yet you can form a straight with just any shapes and/or continuous combo.

total possible hands of 5 cards - 2,598,960
total possible flushes - 5,148
total possible straights - 10,240
a straight is about twice as common. discrete math comes in handy sometimes
