[QUOTE="starfall, post: 397071, member: 7551"]
The logic behind playing 3 low cards for short-handed is that when you're putting all your chips in, what matters is winning at least half of the pot. If the other players will play hands with 2 or less low cards, then often you'll find that when a low hands you'll generally have a low, and the other player may not. If you happen to pair 2 of your low cards, then you may well have a good enough high hand to win that end instead. The straight potential is because you'd rather scoop, and this gives more high hand potential.
My suspicion is that your criteria necessarily moves towards hands that will preserve your stack and keep you alive (i.e. at least split the pot), rather than just scooping hands. However, this is only based on a limited number of Sit-n-Go's, and a few tables which have started to break up.
If you have a larger stack and you're short-handed, then to be honest I'm not sure what the best approach is, except that instead of limping in with hands, you're more likely to be raising with them instead, so you're turning up the aggression factor.
