I was just curious as I've started to do it (as it's amazingly +EV [equity and diffulty wise]), but sometimes I feel like scum.
Thoughts?

I doubt that playing shortstacked is amazingly +EV in PLO8. Most playable hands should be to close in terms of equity preflop and you have to hit the flop in order to get a significant equity edge. But because you have to raise preflop in PL to get your chips all-in on the flop you will also face a lot of tough decisions if you miss the flop. In my opinion playing tight aggressive (VP$IP: 20%) with 1/2 buy-in should be easy to execute and more profitable.
BTW, at the lower levels where I play I don't have encountered a winning shortstacker until now.
