well the thing is, most SNGers suck w/ 15-20BBs anyway. Its prob the depth where the most hands get posted from SNGs, b/c no one has any clue what the [censored] they're doing. Then they randomly decide it will be more profitable to play at that depth full time. lol

I don't think this is because it is 15-20BB play. ICM makes for some weird situations with 15-20BBs and this just doesn't happen shortstacking cash. Another thing that makes 15-20BB cash play easier is that the other people at the table have wider ranges and end up opening sub-optimally against you to try to take advantage of deeper stacked players.

But the blinds come around quicker at six max and it's easy enough to adjust to a short stacker at the table. Often raising their blinds with a small 3x or even 2.5 or 2x raise if they are really tight or only doing so with a tight range and calling a shove if they are likely to go all in with Ax seems very profitable.
Also, alot of people just leave if short stackers show up, so you may find yourself left out of the best games.
Futurdoc is totally correct. Beating the games with 100 bbs is not that hard if you put the work in, but is you start shortstacking it is like you are giving up on yourself.
