Re: importance of position

easier to control the pot size

I'm constantly saying this, but this is so important. Your ability to control the pot is what keeps money in front of you when you make strong second best hands, and what helps you inflate the pot with the best of it. The information you acquire by acting last can't possibly by overstated.
generally speaking, position is dramatically underrated at these stakes. A lot of players know it's important, basically because theyre told, and it's such a powerful concept that just having a vague idea of its importance can actually improve your game in a substantial way. You don't even need to REALLY get it, you just need to keep it in mind, and it helps.
The reasons why are what we're talking about, but the better you understand the power of a positional advantage, the better a play one becomes.
