Thank you so much for the replies. That is what I needed to hear. I am fully aware this system may not be the preferred system to many , however thats the trade off - as someone on the thread incorrectly implies it is logic rather than Laziness that Lee me here. I figured an easier method would allow a better introduction. I know Red 7 may be looked down upon slightly but at least it's got me in the game.

Out of curiosity what would be the next Logical system to tackel? I have actually read some negative thoughts on hi opt II.

CAN any other deviations be used with Red 7 - I am confused with one of them...Am I actually standing with 9 against 2 at -4? For the life of me, I think I am missing g something right in front of my nose. Sorry for the stupid questions
