How drastically do your hand requirements change from a full table to a short handed table? What's now considered a reraising hand that was before a calling hand?  |

| Shorthanded(3-5 players), I will start completing any pair, hands like AJT and other high cards, and hands like 789, as long as my door card looks threatening compared to others' door cards. Shorthanded is all about aggression, which means you shouldn't be limping into any pots like you might do at a full table. |

| So 3 cards to a flush are no longer limping hands? |

This question is tough to answer generally. For example, I won't even limp w/ 3 cards to a flush when my door card is an ace. I will play that just like I have split aces, so that even if I don't hit, I still have a good chance to make them fold. Shorthanded, w/ a door card of probably an 8 or higher, I would complete. 7 or lower, I might limp, or I also might fold, depending on how high your down cards are. Shorthanded, drawing hands like this lose a lot of value. Also, if you are playing micro limit(.25/.5 or .5/1), don't use this advice, since nobody will fold anyways, since nobody knows how to play. |
