It wasn't until I finished the last session when I realised that I'd had my earphones in all the time I was playing but instead of listening to music I was singing Amerika by Rammstein in my head. I'm not great at singing Rammstein songs because my German is rather rostig.
Anyway, I'd been for a fast training session this morning and it's no secret that exercise helps with poker. I think that it's because of the blood flow being increased, aiding the brain to work better. I've certainly found this myself and when I don't go training I often see the consequences in my game.
It felt like the 97 hands went pretty quickly. I'll recount two.

Outcome: Psychomobil wins $0.47
I won't complain about this one, I was lucky to make the straight on the river. But it seems more like a PLO hand than FLHE. I feel conditioned to almost expect the chop when I make a nut straight, but not used to it.
Anyway, I was on round about $0.40 profit for most of the session. This was pretty much since the start until the following hand.

Showdown:
Psychomobil shows Kh Kd (a pair of kings)
SB mucks Qd Qh
Outcome: Psychomobil wins $0.69
I half knew and half hoped that SB had a smaller pocket pair. It could have easily been aces. I certainly know that I played it really weakly regardless. I was incredibly lucky that my kings held up on such a board, though in fairness to myself, I find it unlikely that BB and MP+2 had playable hands pre.
I stopped soon after and finished up $0.71 from the 97 hands. Up $0.01 from two days.
