Consider a MTT with 3000 players. How many all-ins would you expect to make (against a similar stack size) on route to a final table.
Much will depend on style of play of course and there's no right or wrong. But I'm wondering, for example, how many people get to final table without all in and how many use it as a regular weapon.
This is part of my exploration into 'winning' vs 'not losing' poker strategies.
Currently I think I could final table with around 3 stand offs - but would only final table without that kind of play if I'd built a big chip lead and managed to maintain it.
This morning I probably went all in on route to winning a free roll (c2800 players) many more than 3 times. But at one point I had a huge chip lead (about 50% of chips with 10 or so remaining). They don't count - I'm thinking of the all-ins that could eliminate or close to eliminate you from the game if you lose. Times when you weed to build a stack to make the final table in good shape - to be in contention.
I noticed playing knockout tournaments that towards the end there are often one or two people who only have their original head value ie. they haven't eliminated anyone. Whereas others have eliminated 8 or more people. This may just be down to the cards on the day - but more likely it points towards consistent differences in playing style.
