Guess I did "slip a cog", as I wrote earlier in the post, the SF odds
are 44 in 22100.

There are 48 in 22,100. Count them again.

1- AKQ
2- KQJ
3- QJT
4- JT9
5- T98
6- 987
7- 876
8- 765
9- 654
10- 543
11- 432
12- 32A

12 x 4 suits = 48.

Of course, you are still correct that there are 52 ways to make trips, so trips are slightly more probable.

Cheers.
