Question about Omaha starting hand probability.

I was wondering if anyone knew the probability of being dealt A2xx single suited, A2xx double suited.

There are 270,725 starting Omaha hands. A2xx single-suited can be dealt in 4 different suits, with 11x10/2 = 55 different combinations of xx. That's 220/270,725 or about 1 in 1,231.

There are 21 times as many ways to get this hand double-suited. That's 4,620/270,725 or about 1 in 59.
