Position...whats the big deal?
i hear all this talk that location is so important to betting strategy...i feel that whether im sitting UTG or at the bb i think i will still bet a certain way given my pocket cards and the flop, along with the way other people bet and so on...is this theory strictly for pre-flop betting, or am i missing something? please shed some light on this topic for me

Not a huge difference between BB and UTG. The difference rests with the cut-off and the button. Allows you to act everyone else thus make your decision based on how the hand is being played out.

Poker is really a game of information. Imagine two equally good players playing, would the guy with the most information win or would the guy with the least information win?

I can understands DMpokah's point, it took me a little while to really understand the value of position. I finally had an "A-HA!" moment when I realised how much easier it is to play a set in position than it is to play out of position. It becomes really hard to extract value in this situation.
Should you bet right out or check to your opponent?
Is he going to bet if you check to him?
If he does bet, should you check raise now?
If you do check raise now, are you going to be giving away too much information about the strength of your hand?
Will he call a check raise?
If you flat call him, will he bet the turn again?
