The biggest domination in Omaha occurs when two hands hold the same ranks but one is double suited and the other holds four different suits. The double suited hand cannot lose.

Actually, this is not that much of an edge, because you end up chopping most of the time, even though you are correct that you never, ever lose. Twodimes puts it at 0.549-to-0.451, or 1.22-to-1. I would still prefer the Hold'em matchup of AA vs. A2.

Pete's response is, of course, correct, but I was trying to limit it to somewhat realistic hands. (OK, I just didn't think of it.)
