Re: More about position

In a 10 player table, usually at least one person has premium cards in preflop. If the round is indeed folded to me, then, itīs likely that some one behind me holds those premium cards. That leaves me with a less good hand against a premium hand.

It may be likely that someone behind you has a better hand. But keep in mind that you'll have less competition on the flop.
On these levels open limping often seems to open a can of worms. As soon as the first guy limps, every player behind him seems to follow with 30-50% probability (no hard numbers here, just how I perceive it). Count those guys in.
If it is down to you vs viallain with good (read: "better") hand, don't forget that you're rarely more than 3-1 behind (a lot more often it'll be 2-1 instead). You may well hit a flop that suits you a lot better than him. And while you can put down your weak/mediocre holdings without hesitation, he'll have a much harder time doing so.
Just make sure you're a disciplined folder.
