Re: Who makes more mistakes- short stack or big profit stack?
In my limited experience, this is a two part answer:
A) Experienced players who know how to play big-bet poker generally make small stack mistakes... and can sometimes be hyperaggressive with bullying, but fold equity may not make this a big mistake.
B) Inexperienced players who win a fair amount early by being loose can often blow through large stacks by continuing to be too LAG.
I think short stacks are somewhat protected from their mistakes, by the cap on their losses that comes with a short stack. Odds are, those players who buy in light who are not VERY experienced with big-bet poker will make MUCH more expensive mistakes with a big stack.
The shortened odds let their small stack mistakes become less "damaging" than they would be, if their stack was larger.
