I have never dropped a draw. As I said though, I have seen it happen enough to point out the fact that it is a viable scenario to consider.

And I say 'in training' because I am not an instuctor yet and therefore will not claim to be one so as not to offend those who are.

As for these threads - I'm not giving advice to any newcomers anymore. I get praise on one thread for helping out and eaten up over tiny details on another. I actually enjoy helping people get started in this wonderful sport. Shame there is too many egomaniacs who will never truly derive happiness out of anything but thinking they are better than others and justify themselves by picking apart forum posts.

If someone asks for help, offer your experience. If you have nothing constructive to contribute, then why go about demeaning the words of others who only meant to help?
