What are short-handed tournament strategies?

[Henry]

Short-handed poker strategies are all about techniques that you can use when playing tourneys with less than 6 players. One of the strategies that one can use is to play aggressively and go all out. Which of the strategies do you always use and why?

Playing 6 max or short handed tourneys involves seeing more hands, and paying blinds faster. You can also learn the opponents your playing against a little better, pick up useful information, and try to outplay them, or play the best hands.

I wouldn't change your game too much if you normally play 8 or 9 player tourneys. Wait for your hands, and pick your spots wisely. More luck involved playing 6 max games in my opinion. I prefer playing 9 max tables.
