If you're the first to bet at the pot, the worst case scenario is that you get re-raised and might have to lay down your hand. Another player could fold his hand (quite possibly the best hand) to your raise. Or, he calls it.
Being the aggressor pays off.
I believe that's why you need to play aggressive even when you are medium stacked. Medium stack don't mean much when the blinds are gigantic. When short handed, i believe (if i have to put a number) 7of10 times people fold to respectable raise preflop. The only way to survive "the attack of gigant blind", is by getting back what was stolen from me. But i think you avoid stealing from the severely short stacked, they have no choice but to AI.
