***NOTE*** I played only 1 table at a time for better concentration, plus i find it pretty difficult to MT short handed games.

In short stack no limit this isn't accurate, but if you are playing deep or semi-deep, playing from the flop on is the whole game. Great players can play looser than recommended before the flop because they play real good from the flop on.

I said this in another thread, if you are making mistakes post-flop you are way better off buying in short. This is dependent on how much emphasis you are putting on winning. If winning money is your priority and your play is clumsy from the flop on, buy in short. If becoming a better player is your priority, work on your post flop play and make full buy ins. With the later you will end up being a better player in the long run, but you will sacrificing short term expectation.
