Let's say you make plays that work out 80%+ of the time and you keep picking up chips but when it fails you lose your whole stack.
That's the main reason why you often see people build a huge stack in a short period of time only to lose it all in the matter of one or two hands.
Just the fact that somebody regularly sits on 3-4 buy-ins at an online table makes a high variance playing style very likely. I would estimate that happens significantly less than 10% (maybe less than 5%?) of the time to somebody who plays straight forward TAG poker for 2 hours.
