Re: What is the best theoretical number of preflop callers to AA?
[ QUOTE ]
Abdul Jalib says that having everyone fold to your preflop AA raise is a "statistical disaster." This implies that you want some callers, but do you really want everyone to call?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

Doesn't that mean that there are probably too many drawing hands out there?
[/ QUOTE ]
No. AA welcomes action from drawing hands in limit holdem - they don't hit nearly often enough to make up for the two preflop bets they have to call.

If thats the case, then in a ten person "typical" game there should be a theoretical ideal number of callers, correct? If not, why? If so, how many?
[/ QUOTE ]
I'd prefer nine callers. AA wins around one third of the time against nine random hands - in EV terms, that's much better than winning 85% of the time against one random hand.
