It does at least three things:
- It magnifies your edge (or lack thereof). A winning player will win more and a losing player will lose more with a full stack.
- It helps you develop your postflop play. Shortstackers often end up shoving preflop or on the flop, which means they don't have to make any decisions on the turn or river.
- It helps you learn by grinding through the lower stakes. You don't go around putting 20BB on 50NL tables thinking its the same as putting 100BB on 10NL tables, because its the same amount of dollars, and then getting your a$$ handed to you on a platter.

By the way, how big is your roll again? If I read an earlier post correctly, you were playing 3 tables of 10NL with a roll of like $50 - not good. I thought you had read some stuff on BR management.
