I agree that the two- (or possibly three-) player deck is the only way this has any practical value. And that's because in heads-up poker you're only playing against a single opponent so the starting value of each of your hands goes way up.
I disagree though that a better player would drop out more often. I think better players stay in more often. How can you win if you're not in?
I am not an expert, but you cannot lose more once you are out, either. 'cut your losses' and 'pick your battles' also are arts good players must master.
