Shorthanded games often call for looking at the game through a different perspective. Sometimes, especially against tough opponents who tend to be somewhat loose and aggressive, the best strategic approach might be to just not play.
The biggest mistakes most players make when shorthanded are If players in your game aren't making those two mistakes, then it probably isn't worth playing.
Playing short-handed requires you to make a lot of marginal value bets and semi-bluffs. But, the value of that kind of fast, aggressive play comes mostly from opponents who are tight, passive, and weak. If that doesn't describe your opponents, then it's likely that the best you can hope for is to trade chips back and forth rapidly.
