As others have said, it makes some of my post-flop play a little easier which is good, since I don't believe I'm unusually skilled there.
Interesting approach...I use short stacking to play at a higher level specifically because I think I can outplay them - and if that's the case, then I might as well make more while doing it.

2.) I take it you're camping for raising hands only (at least until you win a pot or two first). You're not limping in with TJ, right. You want to be the raiser and then bet 2/3 the pot if you hit OR check/fold if you miss.

Others may not like having you at their tables, but that doesn't sound like a bad thing for YOU.
1. Varies depending on my mood, basically. I'd have to be a bit lower than $15 to rebuy, but if I'm down to $10, I might. Just depends...and I don't really know what on.

2. Yes. You want to be the aggressor in any pot you play that's not a pocket pair based hand (and a lot that are). This also means you need to pay attention to position for max results from this play - aggression is much easier to maintain correctly this way.
