I would say no, it's MUCH more like drawing 3 to a royal. You are picking the third card, in effect holding the first two which are given, and the third which you hold. The 4th and 5th are now drawn, just like in draw poker, and with same odds from that point. Whether the final two cards are "below" your card (as in pickem) or drawn when you hit the deal button, the odds of hitting the royal are still the same.
