With that logic it may just even out. But I still think 2 opponents is better than 5.

No it doesn't. 8 callers is the optimum. So if you raise UTG you want the big blind to fold and everyone else to call for max EV. If the bb calls it's a teensy bit worse. Up to 8 callers it just gets better.

Off course you'll only win a third of those family pots, but the pots won are humongous.
