How often should you raise PF in a FR game?

I have like 150k hands of FR (that's all I played until recently), and my PFR over that sample is ~18. Not sure if that's optimal, but it worked for me.

This is the argument of which I was speaking. What I am saying is I do not think that is optimal. Short-stacking works especially against those who do not think about it. I agree with you that in many situations you can win the most by playing a big stacking strategy going after other big other stacks, but there would be times when adopting 3-4bb standard raise as well as raising slightly less when against early short stacked limper's would be better. This would still allow you to build pots in position against the deep stacks, while losing less in the event a short stacked limper re-raises. It's a balancing act, of course, but there are many times when you should tip the scale in that direction for a more profitable strategy.
