Well you want to bet enough to be heads up, ESPECIALLY if there is play after the flop. You give away huge implied odds when there are several opponents seeing the flop vs. your AA. He just mentioned all-in and said the goal was to get heads-up. Don't know about you, but I'd rather be all-in in a 9-way pot with AA than all-in HU with AA. Maybe I just like money too much and don't despise bad beats more than making money.
This is the same logic that breaks horse betters who think they can beat the system by betting enough to win $x on the first race. If they win, they go home. If they lose, they bet enough to win $x plus recover their first race losses. If they win, they go home. If they lose, they bet enough to win $x plus recover their race losses for the first two races. So on, so on, and so forth.
It sounds really good in theory, but in practice, it doesn't work unless you have a mammoth bankroll and you're only trying to win a small amount. Why? Because of variance.
What you are talking about would eventually bust you unless you have a large bankroll. If so, why would you be playing on small stake tables, using this theory, to make $10 per day.
Let's deal in the real world. There is no such thing as an all-in pot with nine players unless you are playing at the corner bar play money game.
