No idea what OLP is.

You want a big stack. If you don't then you are an idiot.

And if I'm an diot so are Sklanksy and Miller, who debunk the automatic "big-stack" argument in NLHE: Theory and Practice. I highly recommend it, as you might learn something that reduces your personal idiot factor.

Shortstacking, winning a big pot or two, and quickly leaving the table, like a rat running back into it's hole.

They don't tell you to always play with a shortstack. They explain the benefits of it, and remark that when you move up in limits or you start playing at a new table you could use the strategy until you are used to playing at those limits or at that particular table.

So you admit there are "benefits" under certain conditions. So how exactly does this make me an idiot?

Got it. Despite the derogatory connotation, if it furthers my goals, whatever they might be, sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
