You can basically judge position by 3's off the first to act. EP=1-3, MP=4-6, and LP=7-10. Of course, the blind positions change after the flop so what was last to act pre-flop is UTG, or first to act after the flop.

Even though the blinds get to act last before the flop they are very definitely early position and the worst place to play any hand post flop. Sometimes they are a good stealing position, say when there are 5 or more limpers. The trouble is that if your (stealing or otherwise) raise gets called, you will have to act first after the flop and in every subsequent betting round so be careful. Be sure that you will either win the hand without a flop or have a good enough hand to play after the flop.
