You're playing 20-10. It's better to tighten up a little and/or raise more. Playing 20-10 means stacking off with AQ too often...

I consider there to be a lot less starting hands - the pairs, suited non-pair hands, and non-suited - non-pair hands.

the other players get cards at random too. Chances of you getting AA is exactly the same heads-up or with ten players. Obviously the chances of SOMEONE getting AA increases with the number of players.

your numbers didn't look too out of line, although I just go with about 1/200 hands get AA (or any other specific pair) etc...
