Guys, you really need to take it down with the all-in happy moves.  Shorthanded aggression is an excellent way to play, but you don't need to do it by shoving every other hand, and doing nothing more than bluff.  It works at first, you may gain a chip lead - but all the person you are bullying needs to do is wait until they pick up a relative monster (shorthanded this would be top pair or better) and they have a real easy double up through you.  This is the only reason why I won today - if you had just made standard raises (and folded when strength was shown back), you would not lose most of your chips on bluffs.
