Winning players normally win fewer pots than their opponents. The pots are just usually bigger because they bet/raise when they have the best of it, and fold in smaller pots when the pot odds aren't correct to continue.

Also known as tight-aggressive play. According to Malmuth in Gambling Theory and Other Topics, winning gamblers employ a non-self weighting strategy. This means that good players tend to push more money in the pot when they have the best of it and save bets when the pot odds, etc., don't justify it. This also implies bankroll swings caused by the luck factor in poker.
