In short-handed games, players need to adopt a more aggressive strategy since the blinds increase in frequency. This means they must be willing to open a wider variety of hands and look for opportunities to steal the blinds. With lesser players in hand, the chances of encountering strong hands are lower, which makes bluffing a more effective approach.
 
I think aggression is very important in short-handed games. Players need to try to steal the blinds more, and bluff more.
