Re: Bet AA preflop to reduce the number of callers?
AA does best against 8 opponents over the long term, so I guess that 8 callers in a raised pot is in a sense the ideal situation.
Personally I'd sooner lower the variance and play against fewer opponents though even if that isnt +ev.
In a tournament managing variance is probably more important than maximising ev so you definitely dont want your raises called by 8 others there.
