# of Omaha Starting hands

[cielo]

Not exactly probability but,

how many starting hands are possible in omaha if suits are not taken into account (like how they are listed in PTOmaha)?

So that A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

and
A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

are counted as the same hand.


Im not familiar with this kind of math, but my initial guesses were:

13*12*11*10

or

13^4

but i really am not sure.

If you do know how to figure this out, could you please explain it for me.

Thanks in advance
