Sorry if this has been asked before (not really sure what to search for!)
I'm a beginner using Old-Pochmann and I have a single flipped edge cycle such as the following situation (scrambed with White on U, Green on F) :-
R U R D B F' L' R' F2 D' B F D L2 F' D2 U B' F2 D' R F L' R' F'
OK, I solve with Yellow on top, Orange on front. My buffer position is Upper-Right and my very first piece is Blue-Yellow already in the Yellow-Blue position! If I swap this with UL (White-Red, using a T-Perm) and then swap it back but upside down then the White-Red will become Red-White and all subsequent edges will be flipped too. Is this what people do?
I imagine I'm missing a trick and there's a more sensible approach.
EDIT: OK, I found a similar thread and I'm slowly getting the idea - it really messes with my memorisation though. I suppose I need to remember that the first piece was initially kicked out but in what orientation? This might become clearer to me as I try this solve again.
