Bradshaw encouraged you to open up the entire PP's and even blend lines in certain circumstances from deep down. Difficult but doable by some members. Sartin used one of the last three lines almost always. Done by many.
These two approaches from polar opposite positions both work as do many interpretations in between. They all get there own winners and are passionately defended by their practitioners but can confuse the new.
A lot of these folks have decades of experience and were acquaintances of the founding fathers. One guy has been handicapping for over 50 years. It takes time to find your own comfort zone.
May you find yours,

Very well said!!!!
I salute you for addressing new interested parties...Yes, indeed, this game does take years to find one's niche and pathway unless one is able to latch onto a mentor and shorten one's learning curve time period .....
As D Wayne Lukas once named one precocious filly...."Open Mind"...It behooves one to keep an "open mind" in this game. Rules are good parameters to begin with and to keep one on the "golden path".
Good Skills
