Well if i have a strong drawing hand like AJs, I'm happy to find 6 callers...
That means you probably have the best of it on 4-5 callers.
Another good thing, is that you will know if somebody hit a set, cuz they will try to take the pot down right there. Especialy if a big draw is in there.
However, You have to play it well on the flop... I got burned lately hen I flopped 2 pairs with the exact same hand. AJs! tought I was VS A9, and POW... was wrong, the 9s limp-called preflop!!!
Anyway, I know what you mean, sometimes its really frustrating to raise when you want to thin the fienld and you find 5 callers...
But remember, most of the time its a good thing to be facing a lot of callers.
Would you prefer to fish in a lake where you know 500 fishes are in of 5000?
