The two most basic mount positions are low and high.
With low mount, you want to grapevine their legs because your hips are directly over their hips. If you don't grapevine their legs, they can bridge and roll you easier. In low mount, you want a lower posture with your arms out to each side to base against getting reversed (think 4 legs of a table - 2 arms + 2 legs). Low mount is more of a "hold" position where the submissions you can pull from it are limited (mainly Ezekiel chokes and Americanas).
With high mount, you're sitting very high on their chest trapping their arms. With high mount, you want to be postured up; neither leaning forward or back. Since your hips are not connected with theirs and you have a good upright posture, you'll be putting a LOT of weight on their chest not only making it hard for them to bridge you over, but also hampering their ability to breath regularly. With high mount, you have collar chokes, straight armbars, etc. Once you learn other versions of mount like s-mount, Owens' sitting mount, etc you will ideally transition into them from high mount.
Do you finish collar chokes often? How do you finish it while maintaining the position?

We rolled after the seminar, though, and Tim hit at least 3 mounted cross collar chokes on me. He may have caught me in a few more than that, but when you're tapping 20 times in 8 minutes to a black belt, you tend to lose count. :icon_twis
Lookling up S mount...never heard of it
