Capillarity is what makes a sponge or paper towel pull water upward into the absorbent material. You can see that the force of capillarity can defy gravity. What happens when you water is, the pull of gravity on the water will cause it to drain from the pot until the force of gravity and the capillary pull of the soil are equal - then it stops draining. As long as there isn't a tight seal between the plant the pot rests on and the hole, the weight of the water (gravitational flow potential) will push water out of the drain hole and keep pushing it right off of the plate the pot is resting on.
If you water in sips so no water ever exits the drain hole, minerals and salts will build up in the soil and make it difficult for the plant to efficiently take up and move water to all the plant's parts. You probably don't want to, but you're going to need a collection saucer, and the bottom of the pot should be above any water that collects in the saucer so the dissolved solids/salts flushed out of the soil have no pathway back into the pot.
