IMO Airball is just a whale who could not beat £1-£2 on any site or live cash game. He started with a few bob in the bank from non-poker activities & is burning through it at an impressive rate.
His ego also means he doesn't realise the high stakes games form around him. Maybe he doesn't care and just enjoys the celebrity factor that comes with being perceived as a rich poker player. To be fair, he's been smart with creating a pantomime villain image that means he gets invited to soft games.
