I swear I just answered this yesterday but it's AAKK double suited.

AAKK double suited is the best hand. Unlike getting AA in Texas Hold'em though, you won't get AAKK double suited every session you play. You'll only get it a few times a year because it's so rare.

Also, it's important to understand that even the best hand in Omaha is rather vulnerable compared with AA in Hold'em. AA in Hold'em is an 85% favorite over a random hand, while AAKK double suited is only a 71% favorite over a random hand in Omaha.

This is part of the reason why winrates are comparatively lower in Omaha and the rake is a bigger obstacle.

Depends of the Omaha if it is the normal Omaha the best hand is AAKK suited but if it is Omaha H/L the best hand is AA23

This is very true. I've gotten it a couple times and lost with it both times. There are just so many possibilities in Omaha. This is why I don't normally play it. I can't handle the swings.
