What is the best starting hand in omaha?

Answer 1

Well, that really depends... Omaha is a primarily drawing game, which is different from Hold-Em, where your hand can hold up on the strength of your hole cards alone. While AA-KK double suited offers you great starting potential, a hand like J-Q-K-A double suited, or 10-J-Q-K double suited offer you way more chances to hit the flop. Pocket aces or kings frequently need to connect to win, and even then, you will usually need a full house (to beat the myriad of straights that always develop)
Now if the game is also Hi-Lo, you will want two, or preferably three cards under five in your hand, such as A-A-2-3 double suited, or A-A-2-4, or A-2-3-4.
Basicly, there is no "best hand" in the beginning, as the draws in this game are such a big factor.

Answer 2

depends on how you look at it...some players, usually those who have experience in hold 'em and have not played much Omaha hi, prefer A-A-K-K double suited, because it has the big pairs and flush elements...but those who grew up on Omaha tend to prefer A-A-J-10 double suited, because it provides the same nut flush possibilities but also leaves more doors open for straights...in hi-lo the best hand is always A-A-2-3 double suited, because you have the flush, straight, and big pair for hi and the wheel cards for low

Answer 3

Ace King suited, Ace King suited.
