U play 70 hands in a 10 handed game? That seems rather high, care to elaborate a tad? (This is all a bit subjective though cos it depends on ur style/seating position/chip count etc as usual  )

I think hes talking about the 72 possible starting hands. But it all depends on the table your sitting at on which hands you play.......

Hm... I think it also depends on your opponents style. In shorhand games I thinks it's easier to discover the style of every man you play with... And then... hehe... I found how to play small pairs in shorhanded games...

Does anyone know another specific strategies?
racquet000 - but I like your way of thinking. Nothing is absolute. You should reason from the position at the table

Marginal hands become good hands, this is the key to deciding. AJo is now a good hand, instead of a trouble hand. Now it may run into a bigger hand, but the odds are far less likely.
Besides in a short handed game the binds will eat you up if you don't get involved, you have half the hands to catch a hand.
You start playing pairs of any kind, you play two face cards, you play suited cards, you play suited connectors, you play most ace X, although you should still be careful of A, 6 - A-9, I give the nod to them if they are suited however.
You consider your position less in short handed games, you know going in that 3 or 4 people are a lot in a 5 or 6 handed game to enter a pot. most of the time it will be 3 max.

Suited connectors actually do better in games with more people around the table. At least, that is what I have learned. The reason is that you wont hit anything good with those most of time, so you need good pot odds to play them. And good pot odds are exactly what you will find with more people playing. Plus when you hit anything, it is definitely going to be strong.

It depends...
The beauty of suited connectors in a shorthanded game is that 67s hitting a 7 might very well be a good hand. And if you are pretty certain that your opponents don't like to play suited ace-rags or similar, suited connectors rise in value dramatically - a read like that is easier to achieve in a short-handed game. And in a full ring, you have a higher probability of someone hitting the flop and betting hard to eliminate draws.
Plus it is often much easier to steal the pot in a shorthanded game, so in LP shorthanded you can raise with them and represent on the flop even if you miss, which is a bit more dangerous in a full ring.

I stay away from shorthanded tables simply because I don't know how to play them..I need a great strategy spelled out in detail
