Bankroll

Track multi-day tournaments

Click the + button to add a session. Select “Multi-Day Tournament” in the type field. Enter the start date, end date, and total hours played. For example, if you played 3 days of 8 hours a day, enter 24 hours. Fill in the other fields as usual.

Track deposits and withdrawals

When you withdraw or deposit money from your bankroll, add a bankroll entry and select “Deposit/Payout” as the type instead of “Cash Game”. Enter a positive or negative amount.

Sellings or buying shares

If you sold shares, enter the amount your shareholder paid from your buy-in under “Shares income”. Enter the amount your shareholder will receive from your cash-out under “Shares outgoings”. Example: You sell 10% of a session with a total buy-in of $100 and a total cash-out of $200. In this case, “Shares income” is $10 and “Shares outgoings” is $20.

If you bought shares, enter the amount you paid from the player’s buy-in in the “Share outgoings” field. Under “Shares income”, enter the amount you received from the player’s cash-out. Example: A friend played a session where he bought in for $100 and cashed out for $200. You bought 10% of his action. In this case, enter “Buy-in” is $100, “Cash-out” is $200, “Shares outgoings” is $10 and “Shares income” is $20. Always enter the correct values that the player bought in with and cashed out with in the buy-in and cash-out fields.

Alternatively, you can use the slider to automatically fill in the fields. To do this, you must first enter the buy-in and cash-out amounts. If you have sold/bought with mark-up, edit the fields if necessary.

Track expenses

If you want to track expenses for more than one session, such as airfare and hotel costs for a trip, add a new session and select “Expenses” as the type instead of “Cash Game”. Smaller expenses, such as parking for a session, can be entered directly into the “Expenses” field in the session.

Track a jackpot or bonus

If you win a Bad Beat Jackpot or similar, you can keep track of it without it affecting your game statistics. To do this, add a new bankroll entry and select “Jackpot/Bonus” as the type instead of “Cash Game”. You can also choose whether or not to include this win in your Cash Game/Tournament statistics.

Tags

You can tag sessions. For example, you might want to see all the sessions for a trip together in one view. Select and hold a session, and then click “Edit”. In the Tags field, type “Vegas Trip 2024,” for example. Repeat for all sessions on the trip. This will give you an overview of the profit and a trend of your poker trip. You can also share a Tag with friends. This is useful if you have made a staking agreement.

Variance calculation

The variance calculator tells you the expected variance based on your last cash game sessions. The white line shows your expected value (EV) in Big Blinds per 100 hands. The app takes your EV, your standard deviation (SD), and calculates 20 cases to keep the best and the worst case.

The SD is an indicator of how swingy your play is. For example: A supermarket sells nuts at 1000 per pack, and you have bought 5 packs. You open the packs and count the nuts. The 1st pack contains 1005 nuts (+5), the 2nd contains 998 nuts (-2), the 3rd contains 996 nuts (-4), the 4th contains 1003 nuts (+3), and the 5th contains 1001 nuts (+1). These deviations are relative to the expected value of 1000 nuts. To calculate the standard deviation, you first square these deviations:

5² = 25, -2² = 4, -4² = 16, 3² = 9, 1² = 1

The mean squared deviation is then:

(25 + 4 + 16 + 9 + 1) / 5 = 11

Finally, the standard deviation is the square root of the mean squared deviation:

√11 ≈ 3.32

This means you can expect a typical deviation of about 3.32 nuts from the expected value of 1000 nuts per pack. Similarly, in poker, if you have a winrate of +10bb per 100 hands and a SD of 20bb, you can expect results typically to fall between -10bb and +30bb per 100 hands for your next sessions.

Are you a solid winning player and wondering why you need so many Big Blinds to keep the “Risk of Ruin” lower than 5%? That’s because of your high “Standard Deviation,” which results from entering sessions with zero-hour durations. Filter out the sessions shorter than 1-hour duration and check your “Risk of Ruin” again. You need to enter a real session duration to see an accurate variance calculation. If you’ve already entered sessions with zero-hour durations, you need to edit these sessions (long press the session) and enter the correct end time.

Maintaining your bankroll

This section allows you to bulk edit your bankroll entries. You can change location names, for example, to combine sessions at “Aria Vegas” and “Aria Casino Vegas” into one location. There is no location database in PBT. If you add a session with the location “Aria”, you will find this location in the drop-down list when you enter the next session. This drop-down list contains all the locations you have previously entered in one of your sessions. If you want to rename a location or merge two locations, go to Bankroll and swipe to the “Maintenance” tab. In addition, you can also change the names of games, hide games or locations, as well as find duplicate entries in your bankroll.
