Re: shorthanded vs full ring
How are the blinds hands any weaker because it's shorthanded? They are still random, in my opinion, unless you really subscribe to bunching theory.
As for loosening up, I agree that most players loosen up their open raises, so against those opponents, I'll loosen up 3-betting and defending standards.
However, regardless of how many hands were dealt, the relative strength of your hand is the same in each position... in other words, the same number of people act behind you.
