There's nothing more annoying than calling some mediocre player's raise with a hand like 68s with the hope of outplaying them postflop but then having some donk 15 year old push allin with his little stack.

That's interesting -- there's a negative correlation between age and ability to play a SS strategy correctly? And what site violates its users' privacy by displaying their age, even if they're underage?
Moreover, I thought that considering the action behind you was part of poker. It's not a Constitutional right to see a cheap flop with all your drawing hands. Maybe you're overvaluing 86s in MP with players yet to act.

True, every one of the five million times this gets discussed to death, everyone agrees it's less +EV than playing in a deep-stacked game where you have the advantage.

and it will never make you a better player.

False. By allowing you to sit in a game that you otherwise would bleed money to sit in, you're getting a great learning opportunity. I don't think anyone reads GSIHE and thinks, "I want to grind short stacks at $10-25 for the rest of my poker career!"
Anyway, I have yet to see any arguments on this thread that aren't
already on the wiki page. Nothing new under the sun.
