Thanks, Spoonitnow. You said it a lot better than I could.
When I started playing online poker, around 2002, I deposited $50, built it slowly up to $400, and then decided to "take a shot" with half my bankroll at $1/$2 NL. Third hand in, I gave it all away with KK vs. AA. Now, even if I'd gotten lucky and doubled up, I fully expect I would have lost it eventually, as I was in over my head.
I know a few other "shot takers" personally, and they might have a great week, add $1500 to a $500 bankroll, but in the end they give it all back. No matter how good you are, if you keep risking a huge piece of your bankroll, you'll bust out eventually.
