We always hear about poker being about a game of position. Online and live pro's emphasize it and how it helps you to make good decisions in the long-run. What we don't hear as much but should not be underestimated is poker is a game of situations. Aside from your position relative to your opponents, it's equally as important, if not more so to be in a position where you are applying pressure to your opponent and taking advantage of spots where you "usually" have the best hand.
I say usually in quotes because sometimes you're on the wrong end of a situation, like set over set. I've been on the wrong end of it many times, in cash games, Sit & Go's and MTT's, but it should not ever deter you from playing to win. Here is one such spot where persistence paid off very handsomely for me.
Sometimes those monsters under the bed aren't what we think they are.

Keep on grinding and sometimes you're going to go broke being in the right situation but most of the time, you'll come out ahead.
