Hi, does the order of the cards count? If not:

The number of diferent combnations of 2 kings are 3+2+1=6 (heart-club, heart-diamond, heart-spade, club-diamond, club-spade, diamond-spade)
The number of different combinations of 2 queens is also 6.
The number of different combinations of 1 ace is 4.

The number of different combinations of 2 kings, 2 queens and 1 ace is 6*6*4=144

(If the order counts the number is much greater, around 9216 if I calculated right, so it can't be.)
