Default Power of Position: NL SNG\'s

I find at the NL$11sng's, I rarely come across an opponent that seems to understand position.

Would you agree w/ this and how are the $20's and $30's?

I agree whole heartedly. To those players, position has something to do with sex.

That beind said, $20s is only slightly better. $50s on PokerStars are probably 70/30 positional/not. Only at the $100s do you see most people taking advantage of position.

Its so amazingly important in Heads Up.
Aggression + Position = $

i am a lowly $6-.25 HU player and rarely find someone who sees the button as an advantage to be raising and/or making some moves
