This is a stupid question. You want everyone in the pot. Thread over.

What an incredibly idiotic response. At some point you only end up getting action from hands that beat you and if everyone is in, this is difficult to establish. Obiviously if this was a NL scenario all in preflop, you make the most money having everyone in the pot, but this is limit. The amount of money made with these hands is proportional to the # of people in, but i would guess at a certain point you dont want a family pot. Personally, I like to play KK against 2 opponents and AA against 3.

There is no shadow of a doubt that you want as many in as possible. Your equity with 10 players is about 30% and I would rather have 30% of $1000 than 50% of $500. You would really have to think your postflop game sucks to give up this kind of EV.

Yes but this is in theory. I have a serious problem with this because again, this is assuming that everyone sees showdown. Not everyone is seeing a showdown. Hands that totally miss will fold and hands that hit and beat you will give you tons of action, so it's definitly not as simple as you guys make. That statistical analysis does not address this issue well because the situation isn't applicable.
