Default Re: Omaha Starting Hand Probability

6 * 48 (assuming AA dealt out to you already and no other A is wanted) * 47 = 13536 AAxx hands

I've got a problem with this one. When counting total hands and number of AA's, you are not counting equivalent hands in different orders. In other words, you aren't counting both AsAh and AhAs as different AA's.

In your final calculation, you are counting AsAh3d2c and AsAh2c3d as different hands. You have to perform the entire calculation one way or the other.

Nice catch. I missed that.

Instead of 6 * 48 * 47 it should be 6 * (48 choose 2).
