Default Re: Who makes more mistakes- short stack or big profit stack?

I play in an uncapped 1/2 game that is decently loose and wild (it often, although not always, plays like a 1/2/15 game). The most expensive mistakes are undoubtedly made by the big stacks. I can't count the times I've seen somebody go up 6-800 bucks and end up felted.

Of course I've seen planty of players go down 6-800 bucks 200 dollars at a time as well. But it seems clear to me that already loose players get even looser and wilder when they're up big. In a game where they rarely have a huge multiple of everybody at the table, because some people inevitably buy in for 200 BB's or more, that's usually a hugely expensive mistake, unless the deck just never stops hitting them in the face.
