Yes Cuttle, in relation to your position.  Point is you don't wait to see your cards to figure out what you are going to do.

Example, Just last night in $1-3 cash I am in late position.  Limp, raise, reraise from old lady major nit (whom I had played before) - comes to me - if I don't at least see QQ I am out of this pot.  I look at TT.  Fold (after taking a few seconds to confirm the previous action in my head).  Historically speaking this old gal had either AA or KK.  I know that's terrible PF ranging but no way she was reraising without a monster.
 
If I am not already considering my hand before I see it, well TT might look better than it actually was.  And if I had looked at it before the action - well I might have made some sort of stupid commitment to playing the hand.

Instead I was totally objective in studying the action and was able to make a rational decision as to what I needed to be in this pot before seeing my hand.  Did it hurt to fold TT?  A little, but not as much as it would have getting involved in that hand.
 
INCONSEQUENTIAL HAND RESULTS
She had KK and this other wannabe shark I had never seen before thought it was a good idea to keep calling her 1/2 pot raises on each street with JJ.  The board never saw any paint (nor a T).
