1. Short stacking sends your variance through the roof.

PLEASE TELL ME TODAY IS OPPOSITE DAY

When you're short stacking you're usually going to be getting the money in as about 60/40 on average. When you play regularly stacked, you're often pretty far ahead when all the money goes in. And the blinds will have a much larger impact on the shortstack's bottom line with each rotation taking about 7% of your buyin - running cold hurts. It's perfectly reasonable to play normal stacked with 20 buyins, but you'd be completely insane to play short stacked with only 20 short buyins.

HELLO, I AM A COMBO DRAW. I GO ALL IN FOR 100BB. I AM A COINFLIP WHEN CALLED.

Playing a 20 "short buyin" roll is patently retarded. I poop out 20 buyin swings.
