Well, there isn't a simple answer for this.

52 * 51 is correct (2652) in one way.

If you don't care about the order the hands are dealt, it's half that (1326)

If you want to know how many different hands are possible, doing the typical Hold'em separation between suited and off-suit hands, there are 169 possible hands.
