1. How do you calculate effective M at short tables? Do you do this calculation?

2. How do the criteria for slow-playing change at short tables?

3. When should you cooperate with another player and check a hand down? Are there exceptions?

4. How does the importance of pot odds change at short tables?

5. Why is tracking the big stack important? What's the most dangerous position for the big stack to be in?

 1. Once the table has 7 players or less I use Harrington's formula such that effective M is only x*10 percent of regular M where x is the number of players at the table.

2. I slow-play more often at short tables than at full tables both pre-flop and post-flop. The shorter the table, the more I slow-play. For example, heads up I'll limp with AA and KK more often than not but on a full table I hardly ever limp with these hands.

3. There are many times when I do cooperate, especially at the final table, but it isn't automatic. My top priority is always to accumulate chips so I don't cooperate as often as other players out there.

4. On short tables pot odds become more important and my hand less important.

5. Tracking the big stack is important because the big stack can eliminate me without risking his own elimination(unless his chip lead over me is small).

I think the most dangerous position for the big stack would be directly to the right of the 2nd biggest stack.

I think the most dangerous position for everyone else is directly to the right of the big stack. This is because the player directly to the right of the big stack has to act in the dark.
