Out of position is relative.

In a heads up pot, sometimes I find first shot at a bet can be better than being last to act, as I find people bluff far less after a cbet than as a cbet.

Also, lets asume a tagg mp bets 4bb, you have 66 in the BB and it's folded to you. His range may typically be 22+, AJ+, KQ, TJs+. Are you folding? I don't like that. And calling leaves you literally setmining which I don't think is profitable against most mp raises as chances of stacking are slim. Which leaves 3betting followed by first shot at betting the flop, which I like.

Perhaps my thinking is flawed here. Comments welcome.
