The problem with ITM puts is, you're risking the intrinsic value... can result in big % losses. We prefer to put the time premium and volatility decay factor on our side more frequently. We do play long ITM puts and calls though, shorting the options is just one of the modes we use in option positions -- sometimes long ATM or ITM puts/calls do make sense to us.
