Going to sound really stupid probably but it is somethin that is confusing me when playing preflop.

The early positions in full ring, would the small blind be the earliest as they would be the first to act postflop? Or would you count UTG as earliest as they are first to act preflop?

I have always counted the small blind as the earliest position on the table and adjusted my range that way but when looking at table position pictures on google a lot of them seem to be different. UTG seems to be EP1 and the blinds are separate altogether which has confused me slightly. I still play tight from either position but to get rid of the confusion would be nice lol

Thanks!
