No.

1/25 means it will happen around 4% of the time in practice.


The 10x rule assumes you will be able to get your opponents stack every time you hit a set. That isnt going to happen on most tables. making it a 25x rule would mean you have to get stacks 2.5 times less often to make profitable. Thats much more realistic.
