1326 possible hands
6 possible AA hands

Odds against getting aces 1320:6 or 220:1. You have a 1 in 221 chance in getting aces, but chances and odds are different.

His Omaha book is worthless. I sold all my Ken Warren books on EBay.

IMO Ken Warren's books range from detrimental to useless for building your poker knowledge foundation. If you don't mind studying poker books written in a textbook style I would recommend reading some of the beginning books suggested above then reading the 2+2 books. The 2+2 books contain densely packed information but are no worse than freshman level math books in conceptual difficulty.
