Ah I see -- I didn't realize this before but now it makes sense.  I had been doing this before whenever I get cash from a freeroll and buy-in at the shortstack 2nl, only to encounter a series of suckouts and coolers that left me tilted and broke.  I figured that buying in short on the shortstack table would give twenty .40c "buyins" at $8, but it makes sense now that this is not the case because buying in short you never have full equity for your winning hands and the blinds are a hugely disproportionate size of your buyin.  I knew something was wrong, but wasn't sure why.

I didn't realize it was for this reason, but intuitively after busting out 3 times trying to get my freeroll winnings going anywhere I've decided to build at least a $50 bankroll via freerolls before putting any of it at stake in real money games.  This way I would finally be appropriately rolled for 2nl.

Also, GO CUBS!  What a disappointing 2010 campaign, eh?
