Has anyone won with Miller Short Stack?

Ok so is this system the same as was in last months all in? The one where U buy in short and simply push all in with AK, AA, KK, QQ? You play no other hands.

If those are the only hands you play using this system, then no it is not the same as Miller's SS system in GSIH.

It certainly sounds like a similar idea though.

I have done research and it turns out that this strategy needs a fair bit of 'tweaking' to get it to work. It also leaves you hopeless in the blinds.....

Tried it for about 5k hands and lost $140.

I don't know what research you have done, buy from my experience, in 5k hands, as a winning player you can expect a range of -$156 to $280.39. {insert sample size point here}

Fair enough....

I was a limit player and there the expectation is that a 300BB downswing is about the max that you should ever see (if you are playing winning poker), the $140 downswing is 280BB....

I guess the standard diviation for NL makes the expected downswings larger....

No it isn't. The expectation is that someone who is crushing his game and starts with a 300BB bankroll and never withdraws any money at all only has a ~1% chance of busting out.

You'll see bigger downswings than 300BB every few hundred thousand hands. Don't worry.
