If i get your questions correctly, you're asking how many 3 cards hands are possible to be dealt from a pool of 6 cards? If that is your question, then i believe the answer is 20. Use the Combination formula n!/r!(n-r)! where n is the pool of element u can choose from and r is the number of object to be chosen.
(6x5x4x3x2x1)/((3x2x1)(3x2x1))
This answer assume that a hand of ABC is considered the same as ACB, or BCA, or BAC, or CAB or CBA.
Should the order of the card matters, then the number of possibility is higher, in this case by 6 folds, by then which the correct answer will then be 120

If I'm not mistaken it's 6 x 5 x 4 = 120

I think 720 because 6x5x4x3x2= 720
Now that I think about it I think I'm wrong.
