3-handed vs. all fold to button
A. I'm in one of the blinds in a 3-handed game.
B. I'm in one of the blinds in a full ring game and everyone folds to the button. Should there be any significant differences between my strategies in these two situations?

See this data for a rough estimate of the effect on the hands when the first few people fold. I'm not sure this should lead to a significant change in strategy, but it probably makes a difference in theory in many marginal situations. Bunching might be overshadowed by the psychological differences. People are used to treating raises with more respect when the game is not 3-handed. People are more used to playing aggressively with weaker hands in a short-handed game.

Re: 3-handed vs. all fold to button
A lot of the things you do in the 3 handed game are for the sake of future hands, not the one you are in now.
This is because you will be in many situations involving these same 2 other players in the 3 handed game, but in the full game will butt heads with them much less often. In the full game, you may also be against players who are poor at short handed games. This may allow you to outplay them after the flop. In short, the 2 situations resemble each other for that hand only, but are, in fact, completely different.
