Having been on the receiving end I can confirm that sitting IP to a nitty somewhat scared-money deep stack is a very profitable situation.
I have couple of more pointers and opinions to chime in with here:
1) There is adjustments to be made regarding the dynamic described on deep stack play against aggro regs. Even though i personally believe the focus on that battle can wait until you have a bigger roll and/or developed your game more, but anyway. For example tightening your range when you involve yourself in a hand with them, so that alot of your continuerange will in reality be impossible to bluff you off your hand for your villains. Even though they will still think they can bluff you,big parts of your continuerange if done properly cant be bluffed by them. Manipulating your range that way can be an extremely powerful tool, and is an adjustment i have used to own several overaggro LAGs who think they can push me around by just blindly firing multiple barrells. It got to a point where one of them said to me in frustration after he once again unsuccessfully tried to barrell me off my hand: "Petrucci, youre winning money from me each ****ing session and you are probably the only one i cant win anything from".
Its about readjusting, and in my experience if you do it correctly your opponents have really big problems catching up to the adjustments youre making. Suddenly _you_ are exploiting them instead of the oposite.
2) Building a bankroll from scratch or close to scratch has its purposes. Its a process that make your grow in all aspect of your game and often also as a person. If a big bankroll comes to easy in your hands (bink a tournament or get a big money gifth from grand parents or whatever) it can be a double edged sword. You may have the money, but youre not there skillwise yet or youre not there yet mentally. You need to learn to not think about the money, you need to only care about executing the most +EV play or maximum exploitation. The only way to really do this is time, volume and slowly working your way up the ladder.
If you have to work freaking hard to build a bankroll up, you will learn so much valuable along the way wich is all part of the big process. Another example of that is you will learn that money/bankroll takes hard work to get your hands onto. If you just show up friday night and bink a tournament for like 10 K$ you wont learn that. What will happen is there will be a gap between your financial state, and other (important) parts of the puzzle. Moneywise you will have a roll right, but your skills and mental developement isnt there yet.
