Would this be live or online? I don't have enough personal experience to form my own opinion, but based upon things I've read here, I'd assume this would work a lot better in certain live games than most online games. Most mid-stakes online games that I've seen haven't featured much loose action preflop, but it seems a lot more common in live games for players to open the pot for 5-10 BB (and get callers). This is certainly what you're looking for with a short stack... you just want to wait for big hands and get your money in preflop.
