> Same reason you wouldn't go all in every time you get a poker hand that's "expected" to win. Because you'll (very probably) be bankrupt in a few hands.

You're calling an all-in 100% of the time in a cash game if your expected value is positive. If you don't, you can't afford to play at that table.

You're not going all-in with any hand expected to win because that's not how you maximize profit. It has nothing to do with the risk of going bankrupt. Because again, if that's a concern you shouldn't be sitting at the table.

Tournament poker is a bit different because there are certain points where you have positive chip EV and negative $ EV and the math changes.
