[QUOTE="Tammy, post: 351587, member: 3824"]
I personally prefer the short-handed tables to avoid the limpers as much as possible.  I never seem to do as well at the larger tables because of the guy playing the 8/3os catching his hand.  I like to play the .50/$1 and $1/$2 (that's the level I'm comfortable with now) as I find that anything lower than these (micro-limits) are filled with noobs, and play is just atrocious.  To answer your specific questions:

[B]Pre-flop:  Do you play more aggressively pre-flop short-handed than at a full table? [/B] No, not really.  Now, once I get a feel for the players at the table, then I might, if I find that they are really tight.  But again, it can be difficult to bluff on limit tables.

[B]Flop:
How do you reason when you have overcards and are first to speak? How about on the button when no one's bet?[/B]  First-to-speak:  I'll check it down, so as not to give an opponent the chance to raise me.  This way I can hopefully see the next card for a cheaper price.  On-the-button, I would definitely bet here.

[B]Is your decision whether to slowplay a monster affected by the table size?[/B]  I think slow playing at limit is a mistake, unless you flop the nuts.  Then I would slow play at first, to try to get a bet to raise.  Table size wouldn't matter.  But on a larger table, definitely no slow playing.

[B]How about semibluffing draws?[/B]  Depends on my feel of the table, but I would consider doing it more on a 6-player that a 10.

[B]Do you see any reasons to play the turn or the river differently?[/B]
If I've flopped the nuts, perhaps.  I might try a little check/raise action.  Or, if it's a hand that has been checked-down continually, I may take a stab at the pot.
