A 2-Hour Experiment in Folding

x2ski · #1 12-18-2005, 05:00 AM

Lately I feel as though I've been calling down too much, so I decided to take two hours out of tonight's session, fold some hands that I would normally call down, and record what I felt were the more questionable ones.

Critique away!
