Position is very important. If you raise in early position it's likely you'll get more callers. However, if you're a tight player, and you open with a raise from early position it can also be seen as having a very strong hand. Position commonly affects how I play certain hands, and the players I'm up against. I always try to extract value with strong hands, and protect my hands from players chasing draws/outs with big bets.
