Yes, but then the pros determine that you have a very wide range for going all in. If needed, they will pick a spot where they have a very strong hand to beat what you have, at best an average hand. Additionally, if you're a novice going all in a lot, the whole table will eventually recognize this and all of them will adapt their playing to take your chips. Certainly, you'll get lucky perhaps on a few all ins and win against a pro. And you might actually be right, that this playing style is better than just trying your best as a novice, but it's analogous on a true/false test to just filling in true for every answer. That's only recommended if you know you'll do poorly on the test even if you try. And it's also analogous that playing a pro would be like trying to answer true every time of a professor known to have false be every answer on some tests--i.e., it's a really dumb poker strategy, especially versus pros who are expecting your strategy and thinking one level deeper.
Also, the real reason you're wrong is that if you're heads up against a pro and you go all in, the pro can fold and live to see the next hand.
