OT - Yahtzee Problem

In Response To: OT - Yahtzee Problem (Stick)

It's been a while:

If he bags the ace and with his two remaining rolls throws three additional aces, he'll still be 1pt shy of your total if you bag a small straight, yes?

If he shoots for the Yahtzee, then he'll need to roll a 4 in two rolls.

So if I've got this right, shooting for the Yahtzee needs be be greater than the probability of baging the ace and rolling multiplied by you rolling a small straight. Does this sound right?
