Out of curiosity- why do a lot of people think raven/gecko are useless? Mind sharing?
I think knowing how to sleeve defeats the whole point of using pulls, but then again pulls can accomplish other things such as a hold-out, etc. But i still think they're pretty useful.
If you HAD to chose one get the raven because it is cheaper than use the rest of the money one something good. But thankfully we dont live in a communist nation were we are forced to chose between The gecko or the raven so get neither and some some money.
