There's a little analogy to why going all in can be a good idea.
Let's say you're taking penalty kicks in soccer. Let's say you have a 75 percent
chance of scoring shooting the keeper's right and 60 percent to the left. Mixing up your play by shooting to the left a small percentage of the play may have a good chance of increasing your overall performance.
It's a game theory concept. It's similar to why deceptive techniques like bluffing and slowplaying are effective when applied in moderation.
Oftentimes going all iln looks very weak. If you go all in strong once in a while, you'll have better results.
