People play significantly better against it than they did like a year ago. Like a year ago a good shortstacker was making like 3ptbb/100, now its like 2ptbb/100 for the very best. I guess now shortstackers just try to add more tables to increase their hourly.
I never actually did it anywhere but Cake, and that was mostly just from having a stake in some people when they did play 25/50 full stacked that led me to believe that a few regs were total spew monkeys preflop. I did pretty well over a short sample size (aka I run good) making 50k or thereabouts over a few month span sporadically doing it.
Essentially all I did was play around with which got me a lot better at like blind vs. BTN and vice versa shoving. Although I never really delved into the harder math of like what I should be shoving UTG+1 vs. UTG open considering how good/bad other players are at the table, I just had like a rough guess of what it would be. Of course a rough guess is sacrificing a few +EV spots, but I was making a pretty penny at that time full stacking too and improving my game was far more centrally located in improving full stacking to allow me to beat 25/50 full stacked, not expect to make an extra .5ptbb/100 when I was playing really high.
And now I play 2/4 like I always do, so maybe looking into shortstacking again would be better
