What are you supposed to do during F2L when the pair you see is a really bad one?
Example setup (white down green front): R' B' U B U L' U L U' R

Look at the red/blue pair—it's just awful. I see no good way of solving this. For pairs as bad as these, what's the general consensus? Just ignore the bad pair and choose another one to solve? That process seems quite slow and would impede look-ahead. Or maybe there's good ways of solving bad pairs like these I'm unaware of?
 
F U2 F’ R’ U’ R
U2 F U2 R’ U’ R F’
U2 L’ U2 L then solve 2gen
Edit: didn’t scramble a z2 away

in general yeoh pick a different pair. A lot of cases can be solved decently depending on what slots are open.
