Short handed is the most difficult to play.

The starting requirements are looser meaning you will play more hands than you are used to.

Marginal hands will win more often - meaning you need to know where you're at.

Aggression is more important than cards. You need poker skills more than card and odds skills.

Playing 4 handed is the most difficult because you need to track the constantly changing and aggressive play of 3 other people. HU is just one other person to track.

Poor play in the blinds will destroy you short handed because you pay your blind so often.

If you tend to make poor decisions, you will be destroyed much more quickly short handed because of the wider range of decisions that need to be made and their increased frequency.
