Rdutch 0 #1 April 28, 2002 I was just wondering bill booths opinion on the RSL myth section.Hook low Flare late Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #2 April 28, 2002 How about my opinion?My old rig had an RSL and a Cypres. I disconnected the RSL. My new rig just has a Cypres. For me, a Cypres is all I need. If I cutaway in time, I'd rather get into a stable position before I pull my reserve. A lot of times when you cut away, you end up on your back or some other funky position, OR, your RSL could pull out your reserve before you main has time to get away. There are many arguements for both sides. Because I have a Cypres, I don't see the need to have an RSL, too. Based on my own research on the subject, I would probably recommend that choice ot others, too.

Haeloth 0 #10 April 28, 2002 This might be the first AAD/RSL related flamewar on usenet. I have not been in this sport for a year yet, but isn't the arguments used in this thread from 10 years ago mostly the same as those used in present day RSL-debates?Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um...

Smart people learn from their mistakes. Wise people learn from others mistakes. I'll take the other DZ.com'ers advice and not debate this one. I had no idea when I originally replied that this had been such a *heated* topic in the past.
