I have never sat at a table with a full buyin, thinking: damn, I wish I was shortstacked. I try to constantly have a read on every single player at my table, and act accordingly, but I just cannot understand why buying in short would give you an advantage.

Edit: if you are at a table with a bunch of LAGs that are better than you postflop, you should change tables instead of trying to minimize the edge they have over you by buying in short. JMO.
