Using PokerLog

PokerLog has three main modes of operation. The Ring Game list lets you keep track of all of your ring games. The Tournament list lets you keep track of all of the tournaments you play. Finally, the Bankroll list lets you keep track of miscellaneous changes to your bankroll.

The Ring Game List

The screen shot above shows a sample of a Ring Game list. The numbered items below correspond to the blue numbers in the screen shot.

  1. Tap on any column heading to sort the list using that column. Tap on the column a second time to reverse the sort order.

  2. Tap on a session entry to see the details of that session or to edit the session.

  3. Tap on the New Session button to create a new session.

  4. This value shows your total bankroll, from all ring games, tournaments and bankroll adjustments.

The Session Information Form

The screen shot above shows the session information form. Use this form to enter all of the information about a ring game session.

  1. The date should contain the date that you started the session.

  2. The start and end times let you specify the length of the session. Minutes are rounded off to the nearest quarter hour. If the end time is earlier than the start time, then PokerLog will treat the session as having started on one day and ended on the next. For example, if the start time is 8:30pm and the end time is 1:30am, PokerLog will calculate the session length as five hours. Sessions longer than 24 hours are not supported.

  3. The hours field will be filled out automatically whenever you change the start or end time.

  4. The Room, Game, and Limits fields all have popup menus. PokerLog remembers all of the rooms, games and limits you have played and puts them into the lists automatically.

  5. Use the Buy and Out fields to record your buy-in and cash-out, respectively. PokerLog will calculate your win or loss.

  6. Tap the note icon to load the note in a full-screen editing window, to make it easier to edit or read long notes.
