Broke players are because of poker or external factors

[Ray Of Light]

I think it is a combination of both.

For example, a player who is going through a bad streak who then decides to jump up a couple of levels to win it back. Or a player who is going through a bad streak and is finding themselves going through the middle of a divorce so their emotions are all over the place.

Its hard to seperate real life from the tables, (or vice versa), particularly during a bad streak at the tables.
