I wouldn't think that being the chip leader would determine the draw, but it obviously does at least to an 8/10 flip situation. How does that even work?

Maybe because the chip leader sometimes plays with a wider range which is more likely to hit the board more often. and ofcource he doesn't risk his tournament life if he loses one or two flips against a short stacked. That may help you.

Agree with you. And he risk more is stack with loosing a little is play in late position. Dont raise too much the BB chip leader because he will call you anyway. ;)

Losing 8/10 flips is nothing. That's pretty much flipping a coin 10x and having it land on tails 8/10 flips.

Are these 10 50/50 flips or are they 10 HU situations with chip leader? Slight difference when it comes to preflop equity if it's the latter.

Did you flip 10x with the chip leader? Probably only possible in a re-buy game, so I'm guessing you didn't. If you did, though, please correct me.

If CL flipped with 10 different players, then # of BBs in effect stack comes into play here. If CL is flipping with an effective stack of 5 BBs, when they have 300 BBs, then their call range is going to be much wider.

If you are worried about flips stop taking them so much. A lot of them can be avoided.

I like flips in cash games but no so much in a tournament where your day is over if you lose. In a cash game I simply rebuy.

If you want to be successful in tournaments (and cash games) you need to stop shoving and see more flops. Not sure why you would want to put all your chips in with only seeing 2 cards.

It is an indisputable fact - in the same situation the chipleader with more chances to win. Why this is so, I don't know.
