Then possibly AA and two cards thats double suited. The best non pair starting hand would be JT98 because there are so many ways to make str8s and ds to make flushes.

not a joke i said the hand i did because of the straight/straight flush draws both up and down with every card linking to the next, assuming they are double suited, so AT gives u the possible A high straight, T7 gives u the possibility of the updown jack or ten high straight, 74 gives u the 8/7 high straight and A4 gives u the 5 high, 2 over cards and all the flush posibilitys, its a hand i would consider playing more than AAKK is all

seems like a akjqo or j1098 seems to be the best in omaha in clinet play..i lose alot with my aakk in clinet.sht never holds..fml

not like this game think dangerous

Unless you are playing heads up, you are only going to get in trouble playing that. Someone will usually have 1 part of that hand crushed. And the board pairing basically kills your hand if you are getting action.

jqka suited............ all on hand everytime. dont like AAKK inless suited, but omaha's a pre flop game so it really don't matter too much about starting hands, sure they help but its all about the flop and what outs you have on it etc...

Not saying that A/A & K/K are the best and I'm not sure what I think is the best. Maybe double suited A/K/Q/J ?

What do you think?

The best hand you can get is AAJ10 double suited to the Ace's.

Heads up Omaha high the best hand would aa kk double suited.

If you're playing at a full table though and your raising in hopes to get it all in your probably going to get drawn out on.
