Quote: "In the old days, I would consider a good "situation" just like anyone else: late position and a half decent hand and folded to me. The problem is that everyone knows you're in a good steal position there and you get played back at way more often."
This was expressed well in a post by Gigabet. He said the same thing you're thinking here, UTG + 1 or 2 and CO-1 are
far better positions to try to steal, these positions are just not nearly as obvious as the classics.
