Thanks for this - now you've said it, it makes perfect sense, and I see the importance of position more clearly now. This whole not having to bet into pots to find out where you are has been the one thing that's helped me the most I think recently. aside from actually sticking to a BR plan of course...
Until yesterday this was a huge leak in my game, I have to thanks stacks again for spending some time yesterday because it was only through talking to someone while playing that this 'leak' became apparent, and if the very small sample of games since are anything to go by, I think it's made a big difference to my success.
