The one way you never want all of your chips to go in the middle is when they're forced there. That's the situation you're in when you're so short stacked that some combination of the ante and/or the small or big blind puts you all in. I call this "falling in". It's not a good feeling. You're completely in the hands of the poker gods. Last night, in the first tournament I played, I fell in on hand 23. I was dealt 92o (nine deuce offsuit) and things looked really bleak. Miraculously, the board came 3c 6h 8c 7h 5c, my 9 high straight held up, and I lived to fight another day :-) Interestingly, I remembered I made the money that tournament, but it turned out to be a false memory.
