I like the A 3 J K its done well for me in the past as a good starting hand. It can get challenging though with all the raise re raise pre-floppers.

Here is something I put together a while back based on my results and what I have read in the past.
This is not the last word on O8b starting hands. Much of the comments are debatable There were no equity calculation made or simulations ran on these hands.
A2
In the loose passive games I like to play, any A2 is playable from any position. While you like to scoop, playing nut lows will show a profit in loose passive games. Just don't jam the pot with a low only.
Having a suited Ace in your A2 greatly inceases the alue of your hand as does additional low cards or high cards. Hands like A23x or A24K are excellent starting hands. With hands like A23x with a suited ace, I like to raise in late position to build a big pot but limp from up front to let oppoennts in. Even with the beautiful A234 I want a lot of opponents.

Here is an excerpt from Omaha Guide - Part II: Preflop & Starting Hands which can be found in our Articles Section.
There are three basic rules that govern sensible starting hand selection. If you don’t remember anything else from this guide, remember these three things: Your 4 hole cards need to work well together and have lots of favourable flop potential.Any hand with a “middle” (7 through 10) card in it must have three ery strong other cards accompanying it, as middle cards are practically worthless.As in Hold ‘Em, your position is important and you can loosen up your starting hand requirements slightly in late position if nobody has shown strength.Check out the entire article and the entire Omaha series there, as well.
