Position is definitely an aspect of the game that most beginning players overlook. It's not they don't understand what it is or what it means, it's that they don't grasp how much being in hand. Poker is a game of incomplete information, but the more you have before making your decision, the better of you'll be and that's where position becomes important. In general, you want to avoid playing weak to mediocre starting hands OOP, especially against good players.
