This is not necessary, especially if you don't play well with a deeper stack. Coming from a sng background, we are very well suited for buying in short.

I've recently switch to FT, where it seems 90% of the players buy in real short. Thankfully, none of them know how to play the short stack. Someone that plays well with a short stack is very annoying.

Table selection is key. Find tables where there are donkeys with large stacks to take. Why sit and wait for a powerful hand to win 10bb when a donkey will stack off 100bb with the same hand.

Man, I was just giving an alternative. I buy in full for that very reason. I understand what you are saying.

But, you just made some definitive statement about always buy-in full and left it at that. There are merits to both strategies and both can very profitable if done right.
