there are some really really good shortstackers in the game that make a good amount of money playing like this. Yes the general rule is sit with max all the time but its for the simple reason they do not get credit sitting short.
Brian Townsend was playing this guy the other day in one of his videos at 1k max NL and Brian hand 99 and made standard raise and dude instant shoved for like $250 or so, Brian thought for little while and was about to make the call and noticed guy was also shortstacking playing at his other table. Brian made the comment this guy must be a decent shortstacker to be playing same way at 2 tables (at least) and mucked his 99. That is why they do it, they get very little credit and use that to their advantage.
