Why is the tip in cash games added to the gross profit instead of subtracted like in tournaments?
We have to make a difference between cash games and tournaments. At a tournament you get your cashout first and then you give a tip. In a cash games and especially when recording a live session, you tip during the session. When you finish the session, the tip has already been deducted from your cash out, so your gross profit is cash out + tip.How to create/edit and import a CSV file into the Poker Bankroll Tracker App?
