i disagree with this observation.
more often people are more willing to gamble it up early in there session as they still have a lot of time to "get it back".
the time to start bullying people, is when they are winning and thinking about leaving, that is when they will be hesitant to play a big pot as they are thinking of leaving soon and don't want to "give it back".

To add this, from my limited live experience, I start bullying a lot more after someone has dropped 3+ buyins and is clearly concerned about losing a 4th, etc...

I also find that some players will tighten up for the rest of the session after doubling up.
