Remember, if he were any good, he'd have a full stack.

This is not true. There are plenty of strategical advantages to having a short stack, and I've seen many good winning players play high stakes NL w/ min buyins.

maybe, but they should all die horrible deaths anyways.

Playing short stacked probably has its own advantages.

Instead of bashing the short stacks, you should learn to adapt your play when you find one on your table. Nobody likes short stacks, but its a different kind of challenge/adjustment(just like you would adjust to a Maniac or fish at your table).

playing a large stack is a dominated strategy.

The only problem with min buy-ins is that they also maximize the rake relative to played pot size.

I like 50BB, it's my confort zone...

Playing short is a skill which most people who buy in short dont have
They generally suck. Then again most players suck.
