It's easy to have once in a while streak of 1000bb of you're play betweeen 0 and 0.5bb/100. You can be still winning player... GOOD winner in terms of money/hour at 100/200.

This is something I hadn't thought about. There has to exist a certain percentage of the poker population that has a very high bankroll, but limited skill. I'm not talking about your average rich fish...I'm talking about a thinking, smart player that just can't get over the hump, and lives in that .25 BB - .75BB land.
This type of person could realize that he is better off making .5BB at 100/200 than making 2BB at 15/30, so he grinds it out. After a while, the inevitable swing happens, tilt comes in, and he blows through 500BB before he even knows what happened.
I suspect that there are plenty of people out there who fit this bill, and the occasional high limit 1000BB loser may be easier to find than you think.
