There are 14 effective ranks of cards for a straight (ace can be high or low). The straight can start on any one of A,K,J,Q,T,9,8,7,6,5 and go down. That makes 10 base straight sequences. Each card in the sequence can be any of the four suits. So the total number of straights is 10 * 4 ^5 = 10240.

40 of those are a straight flush.

There are a total of 12 face cards, 3 of different types(Jack, Queen, King) and each with 4 suits. 4*3 = 12.

You are choosing 5 cards from these 12 so you are left with 12C5 = 12!/5!*(6!) = 792 hands.


This is based on the general formula nCr = n!/(r!*(n-r)!).
