holy f*ing shite!

I just got it...that you should view shorthand as a Longhanded game with the early and middle positions just removed from the table, as if those seats were just cut-out...and then play exactly as if you were at the same 10- seat table, right?

basically yes.

however, you HAVE TO REALIZE that some people play looser in the exact same situation in SH games than in full games. this means their range widens and so should yours. if the player in question plays the same so should you.

you must pay attention to hands shown down, where the player raised from pf and the action he gave postflop.

Or am I totally wrong...

So, according to this view, there is no early pos. in SH, and there is no middle pos. in SH (maybe only 1 spot, UTG in a SH game...).
there's only Late pos. and the blinds and you should play it the same as if you were
at the LongHanded tables?

please tell me this thinking is correct

it is for the most part correct but you have to be able to recognize who is playing looser and more aggressive and who is player exactly the same and what that implies for how you should play.
