Default When are thermals not circular and do thermal helpers assumethat they are?

There is only one right answer; fly in the lift, avoid the sink. Do
whatever is necessary to keep it that way BUT avoid loss due to
unnecessary control movements /attitude changes. Avoiding erratic
changes also minimizes risk of a mid-air if you are flying with other
aircraft in the same thermal.
