I've noticed that ALL winning Hold'em players have giant stacks, obviously from shoving or calling all-in (like 8 - 10 times in a game ..both freerollers & med/high -stake players).
With the nuts postflop it's a no-brainer to shove or call a shove.
But other than that, all-ins, even with a very generous 65% equity, 10 attempts will succeed only 0.65^10 = 1.3% of the time so you will bust-out 98.7% of the time!
So how do all these winners escape the 98.7% bust-out rate. Do they have the nuts everytime they're all-in? I find that implausible.
This has me totally baffled. Thanks for any insight.
