Exactly this.
Also, I'd recommend referring to the dealer position as "Button" or "BTN" if you want to sound competent. It's only really newbies and books from 15 years ago that say "dealer". Whether you're playing live or online, it's crucial to note where the
button is. In most circumstances, you don't actually do any dealing, but the importance of position is crucial to understand.
I'd commonly say something like "I was two off the button" to describe my position (although I'd say "MP" if I was in a forum specializing in 6-max), as it doesn't really matter whether there were 1, 2, 3 or 4 players that already folded. The important thing to know is
how many people still to act have live cards, and that becomes obvious if you state how far away from the button you are.
