Re: In limit, is position more valuable heads-up, 6 max or full ring?

I want someone to tell explain how I should measure the value of position.

The answer is more complex than just a number. In good position, you can play more hands profitably than you could from an earlier position, you can bet in situations that you normally wouldn't (resulting in pots you wouldn't normally win), etc. For a quantitative analysis, buy pokertracker and compare hand-for-hand how position and number of players changes the EV of every hand you play.

And tell me if it's more valuable 9 handed or 2 handed.

This is a shot in the dark: 2 handed position doesn't change the value of your hand very much because there are only two positions you can be in, and ideal strategy doesn't change between the two positions all that much (this sounds like defining a word using the word, but hear me out: you would play 87 suited nearly the same way whether you were in position vs. out of position in HU, but put yourself in a ring game, playing 87s up front in an aggressive game is definitely -EV). So either 6-handed or full ring would be the answer.
