Try this. Cover your hole cards with a thick piece of cardboard on your screen. Play a small buyin SNG and play only the Button and Cutoff (seat before the Button).

If it folds to you, RAISE it 3xBB. Bet the flop if it's checked to you (and most likely it will be).

You'll spend the rest of your time Noting all your players. Who's tight, who's loose and who the retards are. Raise both the loose players and retards from the Button with a min-raise, so you don't lose much if the re-pop you. Bet the flop again with a 1/2 pot bet if they check to you. Try to raise them if the board comes really scary ... meaning to them.

Fold all the rest of your hands except those two positions. Do this for 10 games. Then take the piece of paper off and play a tournament and do the same thing. You've now added position to your game ... and 8 other hands to get cards.
