Default Re: Do higher limit players normally play horribly when playing down?

There's a 100/200 limit player in my local room that sometimes sits in on the 10-200 spread. Max buy-in is $1000 and he knows this, but he will always ask for $10,000 and pulls out 2-3 rubberbanded wads of Benjamins.

Anyways, he does this to try and intimidate the table by implying 10-200 limit is chump change to him. He will always raise the first pot 5-6x, bet every street, and show down 73o, which miraculously turns out good. He'll the get AA , play it the same, and gets plenty of action.

I think it's like online players who normally play 1/2 and screw around .01/.02 to blow off steam.
