why shortstack?
I'd guess (don't know the math) that the variance would be higher playing a shorter stack though. 30 buyins would probably be enough, but I don't know how safe that would be (or if it would be too safe)

Variance is probably not higher. With 40BB he won't be getting in all in pre flop much at all, he will just be reducing the plus and minus swings due to the all in pots (and the all in will occur post flop probably 95%+ of the time) (and maybe getting better value post flop because he can hurt opponents less so they may be more inclined to call light). (And with 10-20 BB I have not done enough study to figure out the variance, but I am not positive it is greater there, either).
