Not very often. Poker is very up and down. You can use your lead to bully other stacks, but it can bite you easily.

Makes sense. There's obviously a significant amount of variance in the cards themselves, and it's pretty reasonable to want to try to use your advantage to press and build an even larger advantage.

I guess it's taking on that risk and shooting for the moon or playing more conservatively, acknowledging that your lead won't grow short of a large stroke of luck, and just playing to place well instead of placing at the absolute top. And of course, big money being involved means that pretty much anybody would be tempted to play for the big wins.
