1/19 : Where's the excitement

Life's been boring lately, I find myself engulfed in meaningless forms of entertainment that consume a large portion of my time throughout the day. Why I do this? I have no idea. My mind just simply refuses to take care of the things that I need to get done. It really just comes down to whether or not I want to do something. If I don't, I put it off for incredible amounts of time. I guess my new years resolution will be to improve upon this.

Anyways here's some hands of the day (I only played two 230's and won them both).

Hands One: Of course he calls in with 87s *sigh*

Summary: I know the blinds were a little higher, but this seems a little over-aggressive to me on this guys part. I actually had the feeling like I was either behind or barely out-kicking him. Lucky for me he was just being kind of dumb.
