Default 2-7 beat and looing for mentor

I can beat the game already, however i know that i am not playing optimally. Because of that i would love to have a mentor. Please contact me if you are intrested.

Secondly i have a question about the nature of the game. Several times there have been what i view as donkies going allin predraw. I have called with hands like 23459. I call and then they draw 1 or 2 cards 3 times and then show a hand that beats me. Am i a fish? Is thier play fishy? Im so confused.

for example:

PokerStars Game #7085352148: Triple Draw 2-7 No Limit ($0.25/$0.50) - 2006/11/19 - 05:54:14 (ET)
Table 'Hiera' 6-max Seat #5 is the button

Seat 4: loosemooseAK ($43.45 in chips)
Seat 5: bgonline.org ($87.15 in chips)
Seat 6: curtis31 ($29.70 in chips)

sk00lb0y: posts big blind $0.50

*** SHOW DOWN ***

bgonline.org: shows [5d 8c 3s 4h 2s] (Lo: 8,5,4,3,2)
bgonline.org collected $161.15 from pot

ORLY?!?!

My reason i think this is a beat is because he drew to a low. He took several draws to make a better low, while i had the nut 9 low. Do you understand what i am saying?

EDIT: WHAT I SAID IS WRONG ALMOST ALL OF IT
