No way. You will encounter short stacks in tournaments much more often and be forced to deal with them. In cash games, I would much rather play at a table of players with decent stack sizes or it makes me buying in for the full amount almost pointless. It's when I pick up a decent hand in LP like 44 or 76s and I'm facing a big raise by some shorty. Do I have implied odds to just call? Hell no. So I either have to fold or shove over him and win what usually turns out to be a coin flip. I'm into coin flips in tournaments, but they're not really my bag in cash games, especially preflop. I only play at 50BB minimum tables. <-- best thing PokerStars ever came up with. I don't have any idea how any card room began allowing 20BB buyins in the first place. It turns cash games into tournaments and those players can suck my ass.
