That is, loose player isn't necessarily a bad player in short handed, especially when aggressive. A weak-tight player very easily gets crushed by a relentless LAG. You can't just wait for monster hands. Very typical situation is when you raise preflop with AKo and the (LAG) BB calls, you flop air (say, two-suited T73), BB checks, you bet and BB check-raises. If you're used to predictable full ring players, you would often have to fold this. You can't do that in aggressive short handed games.

It's also what I was looking for asking about loose shorthanded games at the forum. What I could not get was the loosening from BB with overall playing tighter. Thanks! Pawel Ed,
