What use is position here? I put him on A2 and it seems like a squeeze spot with the flat in front but most of these players will not fold a full so raising or calling to split here seems spewy. Anyways my point is why do people say position is key when the player oop clearly has the advantage in this spot

Hi . I agree with niss. A c bet on the turn, or a check raise , ( not a baby raise 
), would have fited in this board, oop. You have 2nd best HIGH, and a shot to a FH, with no possible low atm. So , in my opinion, if you reraise big here, you catch the fishes calling for a low, which usually is the case, most players chase lows, and dont really focus on winning high, they will call you and even if they hit you still get half the pot for you, and they share lo. In this case, ok, you would have splitted on river, but since there was no low, your still winning with half da pot 
!
Playing passively in this spot would indeed allow a player with J's or 9's to hit a better fh on turn or river.
But hey its always easier to give "advices " once the hand has been played and the cards are known, but really, i suggest to play harder in this spots .
