One of the tricky things that I always feel as a mainly No Limit player, when switching to Pot Limit, is how you can't go all-in to put pressure on people when you're a shortstack.
Many No-Limit players are used to simply going all-in when they dip below 10 times the Big Blind in chips; in Pot Limit you can't do this unless the pot has already been opened, and if you move all-in after a raise you probably don't have enough chips to prevent your opponent from making a 2-1 call (if he/she has any chips at all).
From my experience, being a shortstack in PL HE is no fun, and I find it's probably worth taking a few more risks than in NL, to make sure my chipstack stays WELL above the line.

Maybe, I don't know, but maybe my shortstack game is so good because I started playing live poker with PLHE (albeit in a re-buy 15 big blinds fest). I couldn't just go all-in when I dipped below 10 big blinds. I still had to play the table rather than push and pray. And I do feel that it has helped with my NL game. Rarely do you find me performing "push and pray" as a shortstack and yet I still manage many final tables after successfully navigating half the tournament with a short stack.
Maybe I should just be concentrating on why the hell I always allow myself to become a short stack instead of playing with a short stack successfully

I suppose my point was that it's one fewer weapon you have in your arsenal as a shortstack in Pot Limit rather than No Limit, which might contribute to the perception that it's harder.
It's always harder to play flops than pre-flop.
