Position, Is it REALLY that important in some games.

Yes this is my understanding as well. I love it when someone stays in with 22 and I have a higher pair of a draw. I want to see a couple of people in the pot with 22, 33, 44 etc. What I am having problems with is that if we have 3 opponents with each having 22, 33, 44 and I have KK then they have more outs to improve than I do. Any 2, 3, or 4 trips up and beats us if we do not improve.

You're missing something. When you have KK and are up against three opponents holding 22, 33, and 44, they collectively have nine outs to beat you, AND YOU HAVE ALL THE REST OF THE CARDS IN THE DECK. Before the flop you've got 56% of the equity in a four-way pot. Your overlay is huge.
