Default Winning big - The worst scenario for new players?

From what i've seen, it seems like the worst thing that could happen to an online beginner is that he could turn his initial 50$ into a thousands.

Most of us didnt run into that kind of luck. We started out small, maybe won a bit and thought we were great, lost it right back, tried to figure out where we went wrong, and improve our game.

But for the new guys who did end up getting 4 or 5 figures out of their first buyin... Almost all of them dont have the skill to maintain it, and end up losing it as fast as they won. And then once they're down to a couple 100 from thousands... Its like they went from drinking coca-cola for a caffeine buzz to railing lines of cocaine, and then trying to go back to cocacola.

Everyone i know (only 3 or 4 people) who ended up in huge gambling debt started out with a huge winning streak.

Any thoughts?
