i'm going to have to disagree with you on the short strategy, altho all play is really just a matter of style and opinion...

when you're short, say 5 handed, any ace is a raising hand, esp from the CO or the button. i'd say from the CO or button about 30% of all hands are raisable. now CALLING a raise with Ax isn't always the best idea, unless you're up against someone raising with the standards above...

adapting strict standards for short NL play is a bad idea, and makes you very readable.
