But you're now assuming you WILL get a two. However, if you get a 2, then there are only 51 possibly hands.
I guess the only way I know how to say it is that you start out with zero cards, you get any one of 52 cards in the deck. So now you have your one card (it could be any card in the deck). Then your next card can be any other card in the deck, but since you already have one, it cannot be that. So you have 52 possibilities times 51 possibilities.
