Short Stacked

I just finished a cash session.  I tried a different strategy today.  Instead of playing the usual .01/.02 NL with a $2.00 max buy in, I played .02/.05 NL and bough in for the same $2.00.  I got stacked within the first few minutes, but I rebought and was able to win a few nice size pots.  The last pot was a monster.  As per the rules of the challenge, I left the table when my stack reached the size of 10% of my total bankroll. 
My bankroll balance is now $59.55, up $.19 from yesterday. I will try the same strategy again tomorrow.  Buying in short against larger stacks seems to give me an advantage.  I do have to pick my spots better than with a larger stack, but I am not risking as much in case I run into a monster hand and am pot committed.
I do feel that I am becoming a better player by recording my notes and thoughts on each session.  Prior to this experiment, I would just keep things in my head, but once I see them on paper, they seem more clear.
