I was mainly talkin about online play and playing it short stacked. Also, playing short handed. In live action I always want to sit with a deep stack. I don't particularly like playing the $1/$2 NL game online or in a casino because of the short stacks being haveing really only one move after the flop. I prefer the $2/$5 NL or even $5/$10 NL game in a casino, and I would agree with everything you've said here for a live game. I would be wasting my time to sit short stacked at a live game.
