I completely disagree with you, but let me explain why. First, the issue of stack size is relevant to effective stack size, ie, you buy in $2NL, build to $5. If you are the chip leader, the only real money you have in play is equal to the second stack.

Second, I regularly play 6-8 tables, and can therefore have anywhere from 15-20% of my stack in play at any given moment. If it completely insane to think that I would loose all this on seperate AI plays. The very nature of the beast calls for your AI to be ++EV, so losing 8 of these in one session and therefore losing each of my buyins is incredibly unlikely. You should be winning waaay more than half of your AI plays, otherwise you have a horrible leak in your game.
