If I do RO#3 and #4 my bottom lip goes back in the cup as in normal playing. Is this right or should I try to keep my bottom lip extremely puckered?

The bottom lip takes a more normal position, so back in the cup again. The RO feel stays as much as possible. Even if you play more towards a RI feeling if you ascend. The power of RO #4 is that RO gives room to RI. To see what I mean: try to roll in your lips with a big smile or while your lips are against your teeth already. My experience is that RO makes RI easier.
