On the upside hitting flops and draws isn't as valuable in short handed games, because it's less likely someone will have a hand that can pay you off. Whereas when set mine in a full ring game there is usually a player who has something they can pay you off with or you can rely on implied odds to hit draws. Most of my money I've made in short handed games has come as a result of 3-betting light on the button and taking down with a continuation bet, because when my opponent happens to hit I usually don't have something strong enough to pay him off with.
Wait, isn’t the maximum number of players 22? 22×2 (hole cards) + 5 (board) + 3 (burn cards)?
This might come in handy with the new normal 4 players to a table BS!!!
