Elementary cash game poker rules/strategy questions

I can imagine someone arguing "I can avoid being pushed out of a marginal hand since once I'm all-in I get to see the full board" but my gut feeling is that this isn't (in general) an advantage.

This is an advantage, at least in PL and NL poker.

Consider a bad player playing a good player. The bad player has $500 in front of him, the good player has $50K. The bad player decides to move all-in whenever he gets a decent hand (AA, KK, QQ, AK, etc.).

Now consider an alternative case where the bad player has $50K in front of him.

In both cases, the bad player's equity is negative, because he's not as good as the good player. But his equity is clearly higher in the first scenario.
