Poker is about making the best decisions. When you are last to act, you have more information than everyone else, there fore you should be able to make better (more accurate) decisions than everyone else.
When we evaluate starting hand ranges, the button almost universally has a wider range, and this is because when we have the most information, we have a wider selection of
hands to choose from to make a profit.
However, the button advantage is not a passive advantage. If you merely play more hands, but play them passively, then you will not really be taking advantage of anything, in fact, you are just simply playing more losing hands. If you are going to play worse hands from the button, you really need to be more aggressive. Your hand is not automatically better because you are on the button, it is automatically better if you play it better using better decisions.
