Well there in lies the problem. You consider tournaments, poker. The fact is that tournaments are more akin to craps than they are poker. Because they use a poker format to determine who is the luckiest man on that particular day does not mean they are playing poker. Professional poker players do not like to involuntarily gamble all of their chips away. Granted there are tournament skills that can be employed for a player to gain an advantage. But that said a tournament does not a poker game make.
