Default Wow. Just......wow

There is so much bad advice in this thread it makes my head hurt. Let's take this one:

[ QUOTE ]
yes but your AA will rarely improve

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't need to improve. The other players do.

[ QUOTE ]

you might be a favorite over every single individual opponent but as the feild grows large AA still loses value

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it doesn't. It's winning percentage drops, but the money it makes from each additional player increases by more than enough to offset the increase in losses. Translation - you win more money vs more opponents.

[ QUOTE ]

i am mostly a tournament player please dont tell me you want to go in with aces pre flop and have everyone call you in a tournament

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a 31% chance of increasing my stack by 9x. I'll take that. Do the math: start with 1000 in chips. .31*T10,000 + .69*T0 = T3100. Find me another situation that is this high in value. (Hint: The only ones close are AA vs 8 players all-in and AA vs 10 players all-in)
