I was thinking the same thing about position. Nobody had mentioned it. I happen to think it's all about position. I've no credibility in live play but I play three $10 and one $30 tournies a week, and go to the casino every couple of weeks for the shootout. I find that you can do some amazing things with position.
For instance, the further you are from being on the button again the more action you'll see before it is your turn to act. This really gives you an edge on making an informed decision. If you are on the button and everybody folds to you, it is not a bad idea to throw out a large raise and buy the oregano(steal the blinds). But none the less, being the latest to act is definitely a huge benefit.
Another thing I do is: never look at my cards unless I have to act. It doesn't matter what I have nearly as much as it matters what everybody else has. Watch the other players, then when it is my turn to act, I'll look and make a decision accordingly.
Consistancy! Don't edit your style. Pick something and stick with it. It is much harder to read a person who doesn't make a lot of changes. Like, entering into the pot the same way every time. Always protect your pockets with chips, even if you are going to muck them when it is your turn. If you feel the need to fidget with things, like chip riffling, do it the same regardless of your hand. I read that is one of the most common tells, fidgetting differently.
Anyway, I'm no expert, just love the game, not as much as Omaha hi/lo though. Good luck.
