I was thinking the same thing, a lot of those winning hands are hands that shouldn't win in actual gameplay. It'd be neat to see an algorithm that maximizes the hands that the dealer not only wins, but should win, for small numbers of players. This would be pretty complex I'm thinking.

Could go even further with this: maximize the the number of hands the dealer should win while also maximizing the number of hands the oppenent will likely think they should win to keep the pot big! Now I'm just getting crazy...
Maximize the "bad beat" factor... I like it :).
This seems impossible. There will always be hand combinations that hero would fold preflop, with the exception of the dealer in heads up fixed limit, less so NL. Even 3-handed with hero on the button (who should be correctly opening say 60% of his hands), it doesn't seem possible to stack the deck so that every hand combination will be opened.
