The Preflop Positions

This is what a poker table looks like to me before the flop.  The reason I lump the five EP seats together is that the difference in positional value between them is so slight that it rarely weighs into my preflop decision.  The result is that within the specifics of the moment, I play all five EP seats pretty much the same.  For example, if I’m playing in a ten-handed limit hold’em game, I always play JTo the same way from all five of the EP seats.  And the same goes for A6o, and 76s.  Whereas from the hijack, cutoff, and button, there is much variation in how I play those hands.
