NL25 - Are these good folds

[hanning]

First - I know that it is generally not good form to put multiple hands in a single post but all of these in my mind are somewhat similar so I thought it would be ok this time.

With that said - I have had problems gettng away from good pockets in the past and feel I have improved in this area somewhat but want to make sure that I am not going to far in the other direction - that is playing scared.

Any comments or opinions on these folds is appreciated.

Thanks.
