I have found at lower limits (25, 50NL), alot of players suffer from the Juggernaut disease.
Ill explain.
When a player runs hot, they often never know it. They feel that it is their night, they cant be stopped. Watch me take each an every pot. And maybe you will, for a while.
It happens. Everyone will hit $100 at a 25NL table. You are killing it, congratulations. But this is not an indication of success. Your doing well, now, but your plays might have been incorrect. None the less, your up.
Now what happens is they think they are invincible. They will make bad plays feeling they will hit, make bad bets bluffs they think they have god-like reading abilities. Remember that for every night you run like this, another night you will run terribly.
Take everything in stride. Just because you have made alot of money at a table doesn't mean that you will keep doing so. Im not saying change your playing, im saying don't let it change your play. Each hand is an independent event, treat it like that. If you won 8 flips, expect to lose those 8.

been on both sides of that 
was playing 50 max buyin .5/1 and saw a guy get to 500 on the back of one big suckout and a bunch of nice starting hands, had a feeling he'd leave the table with nothing, and i was right
ive had a few times where i got up to 4-5x the buyin, and busted out to nothing, i think its hard to really pick up on when youre new. im now in the habit of cashing out and taking a breather when i hit 3-4x, just to avoid blowing it by making bonehead calls ;/
maybe someday ill actually learn how to play a big stack profitably

what was the point here? are you getting critical of low-stakes players, or have you taken some horrible beats, and you are steaming? deep thought? revelation?
i just dont see what this teaches anyone, sorry.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
