The straights are these 10 A,2,3,4,5 2,3,4,5,6 3,4,5,6,7 4,5,6,7,8 5,6,7,8,9 6,7,8,9,10 7,8,9,10,J 8,9,10,J,Q 9,10,J,Q,K 10,J,Q,K,A and for each of those 10 ways, the 5 cards can have any of 4 suits each, so the total number of hands in sequence is 10×4×4×4×4×4 = 10×45 = 10240 However this 10240 contain the straight flushes in which all five cards have the same suit, so we must subtract the straight flushes. To find the number of straight flushes, we can choose the sequence any of 10 ways and the common suit any of 4 ways, so that's 10×4 or 40 straight flushes we must subtract from the 10240, so the answer is 10240-40 or 10200.
