Daniel just got busted... Crazy how this $1000 tourney just cost him about as much as the $50k HORSE event. Wow.

I know their is a lot of value in that all in in the dark every hand until you have a nice stack strategy, but I can't help but wonder if it's really worth it? I mean, surely there is some sort of still super aggressive compromise where you are only pushing in (or worse yet - calling all in) 75% of the time or so, right?

Based on the rebuy counts above, it seems not all the top pros use the same strategy as Daniel. In fact, there were only a little more than 2 rebuys per player on average:
