Hey guys i have a lot of trouble with this opening, so i was wondering if you guys could post opening lines here. i know practically everything but this annoying opening. thanks cp

If you are comfortable in other lines, you could avoid dealing with the Sicilian by turning the opening into a King's Indian Attack instead.

ok so these are the lines i face most, but that line that you did is important too, the Nandorf. the i believe the dragon is e4 c5 nf3 nc6 right? those are some of them

The KIA is something you can play against just about anything (including all sicilians).

1. There is no scilian.

2. No Nandorf, either.

3. The Dragon isn't 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6.

OK first off don't fall into that trap of thinking that one move will tell you how the game will go. After 1...c5 all you really know is that Black is controlling d4 and that he might get the open c-file. That's it. Both sides have many different ways to develop and play the game. "The sicilian" is just a name for a broad number of different opening ideas. 

So instead of memorising stuff, not understanding and forgetting in the next three days you might prefer to just look at some games and learn that way:

ok yeah i spell badly, what does it matter? As i said i don't know anything about sicilian lines, so i don't know what these are called.

if you are playing the white side of the sicilian I recommend 2. c3.  (Alapin variation)  You don't need to know that much theory and white's play is intuitive.

And the best thing is you don't have to worry about keeping your opening advantage anymore.

My point - you're a noob, and your advice should be ignored.

It's not ad hominem in this case, you are displaying a lack of skill in the very thing you are attempting to help others with.
