I did move down, I'm not thick, I've been playing full stacked 10NL because i have beaten that and when I move up to 25 NL I'll play 100bb deep.

I gave short stacking a shot for 2000 hands at 10NL so I bought in for $2 on each table and did reasonably well. I know that's too short a sample size, but I don't think I'll try that at higher levels. I can see where short stacking doesn't pay off...but why do some people still prefer SSing?
