"I'd say over 50% of the time ... when all the money goes in, I've got the worst hand. Obviously, I couldn't overcome that unless I had something to compensate for it. And my compensation is all those small pots I've picked up."

"I've got that pot paid for with all the small pots I've picked up. And when I play the big pot ... it's a freeroll."

Reminds me of the gambler who was "playing with the casinos money" after a few wins ... then loses it all due to negative expectation wages.

It shouldn't remind you of that. He is talking about steamrolling people who are weak. Suppose you are playing a very weak player heads-up, and on every hand you raise all-in to about 30 BB preflop. Your opponent is so weak that he will only call with AA when you overbet like that. When you are called, you will be far behind. However, you more than make up for that by stealing the blinds 220 times for every time you get called, and when you get caught by AA, you still win some of the time.
