Just starting out and have fear of Flopping

[Matt Vines]

Hey everybody,

So I am new to this, and I am concerned about maybe missing something, or losing my butt. My guess is that I am not the only one to have ever had this fear. I guess I would love to hear advice possible good and bad warning signs that you may have seen along the way. Specifically those things that have cost you that you might like to share. 

I try to live by this philosophy 

A foolish man makes a mistake and does not learn and repeats the mistake.

A smart man makes a mistake and learns not to make that mistake again.

A wise man see other makes mistakes and learns from them how to not make those mistakes in future  

I hope that some will help make me wise!!
