User Guide — Pokmanager

Guide up to date with version 2.11 (November 2026).

1. Introduction

Pokmanager is the online tool for poker players who want to track their bankroll, analyze their performance and improve.

It replaces spreadsheets with an interface where you log your sessions (online and live), follow each poker room and get reliable statistics: net result, ROI, ABI, ITM, hourly rate, BB/h…

Click “Start free trial”.
Sign up with your email and a password, or directly with your Google account.
You get a 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
On your first login, an interactive guide walks you through the app with sample data.

2.2 Demo mode

Demo mode lets you explore the app with pre-generated data without touching your real data. A banner shows when it is active.

Click “Login”, then enter your email and password (or use Google).
If you forgot it, click “Forgot your password?” to receive a reset link.

3. Key concepts

Bankroll: the account of a poker room (Winamax, PokerStars…) whose balance Pokmanager tracks. The balance is the sum of all its movements: opening, deposits, withdrawals, rakeback, bonuses, sessions and adjustments.
Live bankroll: an automatic bankroll (one per currency) that follows the net result of your live sessions.
Session: a period of play (tournaments, cash game, sit & go), online or live, on one or several bankrolls.
Transaction: a money movement outside play (deposit, withdrawal, rakeback, bonus, adjustment).
Ticket: a tournament ticket won on a room, usable later as a buy-in.
Trophy: a notable tournament result (rank, number of players, prize).
Achievement: a badge (bronze, silver, gold) unlocked by your winnings, streaks and consistency.

4. Dashboard

The dashboard is the home page. The same dashboard exists on each bankroll’s page, limited to that room.

4.1 Summary cards

Net result: play + rakeback + bonus. The tooltip shows the share of each.
Sessions played, ROI and hourly rate. The hourly rate only counts sessions with a duration.

4.2 Main graph and detailed statistics

Pick the period (grouped buttons or custom dates) and the main graph.
The collapsible Detailed statistics panel gathers the advanced indicators and shows the active filters.

4.3 Customizable widgets

Add, remove and reorder your widgets (drag and drop or up/down buttons).
Examples: global profit (with or without volume), profit by room or by casino, bankroll evolution, last sessions, session heatmap, best time to play, breakdown by limits, live session costs, goal progress.

The sidebar shows the total balance and each bankroll’s balance, with the last change and its cause.
Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac) opens quick search: jump to a page, a bankroll, or the “New session” / “New transaction” actions.

5. Bankrolls

5.1 Create a bankroll

Bankrolls menu → create a bankroll.
Pick the room from the catalogue (logo and color), the currency and the starting balance.
Available currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, CNY, JPY, BRL, INR, BTC. Multi-currency totals are converted at today’s rate.

5.2 Adjust balance

The starting balance can no longer be edited once the bankroll is created. If the balance shown no longer matches the room’s real balance:

Use “Adjust balance” (bankroll list, bankroll page, session or transaction form).
Enter the real balance at a date: Pokmanager records the difference as an adjustment.
An adjustment changes the balance and the curve, but is never counted as a win: it stays out of profit, ROI and goals.

5.3 Live bankroll

It is created automatically with your first live session and follows its net result, expenses deducted.
By default it is left out of your total. To include it: Settings → Live bankroll → “Include the live bankroll in my total”, then enter the cash you really have with “Adjust balance”.

5.4 Tickets

Won tickets are tracked per bankroll, with an optional expiration date.
A ticket you will never use can be marked as lost: its value is removed from the session that won it.
A ticket won online can pay the buy-in of a live session.

💡 Tip: create one bankroll per room to compare your results from one room to another.

6. Game sessions

6.1 Create a session

Sessions menu → New session (or Ctrl+K).
Fill in:
- Type: MTT, Sit & Go, Cash game, live MTT or live Cash game.
- Variant: Texas Hold’em, Omaha, etc.
- Bankrolls played: one session can cover several rooms.
- Start time and duration.
- Result and, for tournaments, the buy-in lines: total cost and tournament count are computed from them.
- For tournaments: ITM, final tables, wins, tickets won or used, trophies.
- Notes, warm-up (how you feel before playing) and cool-down (debrief after the session).
Contextual help explains each field.

6.2 Online cash game

Enter the number of tables and the limits played. A cash game session has no cost, no ROI and no ABI: it stays out of tournament statistics.

6.3 Live sessions

Pick the casino with the place search (with a custom color).
Live MTT: buy-in, Rebuys block next to the buy-in and total invested. A rebuy or re-entry is a cost, not an extra tournament.
Live cash game: enter the blinds (SB/BB) and the duration; the number of hands is optional. Winnings are shown in BB/h.
Extra expenses by category: travel, meals, accommodation, entry fee… They are deducted in “Net after expenses”. Tips are deducted from the poker result.

6.4 Multi-day sessions

For a live trip or a series (e.g. from the 3rd to the 9th), turn on the multi-day switch: enter the From / To dates and the real time played. The session is dated on the last day of the period.

6.5 Save time

Session preferences (Settings): type, variant, start time and bankrolls pre-filled.
Save and new: log several sessions in a row, keeping the duration.
Duplicate a session: from the list, the calendar or the detail page, to start from an existing session (without its result, tickets, trophies or notes).
CSV import: import several sessions at once from a CSV file (drag and drop works).

6.6 List and calendar

Sessions are grouped by month, with stat cards and a calendar.
The table view can be filtered by period, rooms, session type and result (winning / losing). Filters are kept in the URL: you can refresh or share the page.

6.7 Session detail

Net result, the session’s rank among your last sessions of the same type, comparison with your last 10 sessions and, for tournaments, a career row (cumulative ROI, ITM and tournament count).
Actions: edit, duplicate, delete, log another session.
Create an image: generate a shareable image (story, post or square). You choose the figure to highlight and can hide amounts, date and rooms. Your username, bankroll and balances never appear.

6.8 Edit or delete

A session can be edited at any time; balances and statistics are recalculated. Switching a session from online to live (or back) asks for confirmation.

💡 Tip: take 30 seconds after each session to fill in the cool-down; that is where your improvement points are.

7. Transactions

7.1 Transaction types

Deposit: money paid into a room.
Withdrawal: money taken out of a room.
Rakeback: money paid back by the room based on your volume.
Bonus: a one-off reward from the room.
Balance adjustment: see §5.2.

Rakeback and bonuses count in the net result and the profit curves. Deposits, withdrawals and adjustments do not.

7.2 Create a transaction

Transactions menu → New transaction (or Ctrl+K).
The amount must be positive and the date cannot be in the future.
If a withdrawal takes the balance below zero, a warning offers to adjust the balance.

7.3 Transaction list

Filter by period, rooms and type, with “Deposits and withdrawals” and “Bonus” shortcuts.

8. Statistics

The Statistics page offers a monthly recap (result, volume, ITM, final tables…) with month-to-month navigation. The recap only counts sessions: rakeback and bonuses are left out.

9. Goals, trophies and achievements

9.1 Goals

Goals menu: set a number of sessions, hours, tournaments or hands, a target ROI, or a free task.
Progress updates automatically with every session you log. A goal reached is completed; a missed deadline fails it. Free tasks are ticked by hand.
Archive finished goals to keep the list short. The “Goals” widget shows them on the dashboard.

9.2 Trophies

Record your best tournament results (rank, number of players, prize) from the session form. A trophy can be edited afterwards.

9.3 Achievements

Bronze, silver and gold badges unlock based on your winnings, streaks and consistency.

10. Challenges

Challenges pit a group of players against each other on how much their bankroll grows. Subscribers only.

Create: name, currency, fictional starting amount, start date (tomorrow at the earliest) and end date, optional target, maximum number of players (2 to 50).
Invite: share the challenge’s link or code. A friend can also type the code in “I have a code”. There are no public challenges.
Ranking: everyone starts from the same amount and is ranked on growth in %, computed from their real sessions. Rakeback and bonuses count; deposits, withdrawals and adjustments are ignored. All your rooms count.
End: on the end date, or as soon as a player reaches the target. The winner stays provisional until the closing.
Locked rules: only the name can still be edited once another player has joined or the challenge has started. You cannot leave a challenge that has started.
Follow-up: ranking, curve, countdown, time bar, hall of fame (best session, endurance) and a record of your finished challenges. A badge on the menu flags a result you have not seen.
Results are declared by the players: the challenge runs on trust. Others see your username, growth, gain and session count, never your rooms or real balances.

11. Tools

Tools menu:

Push or Fold: Nash equilibrium charts by position and stack.
Pot Odds: pot odds and implied odds.
Bet sizing: maximum pot-limit raise, bets as a % of the pot, big-blind conversion, SPR, and preflop sizes from rules you can edit.
Variance (cash game and tournaments): simulation of your results, downswings, bankroll size (Kelly, Malmuth) and risk of ruin, pre-filled from your history.
Hand Replayer (beta): replay your PokerStars hands (.txt file import) with equity calculation.
Notes: free notes (technical, mental, opponents).

12. Coaching

The Coach Area is in beta, reserved for a selection of coaches or available on request.

Join a coach: open their invitation link and accept. You choose whether the coach sees your balances; your results and sessions remain visible to them within the sharing date, which you can change at any time.
My coaching: your space with the to-do (the coach’s goals), what’s new (comments on your sessions, goals validated or rejected) and the discussion with your coach.
Each coach goal has its own comment thread. Your personal goals stay private.
An email digest (daily, weekly or off) is set in the settings.

13. Settings and account

Profile: first name, last name, username, email, language.
Session preferences: default values for new sessions.
Live bankroll: inclusion in the total.
Subscription: manage your subscription.
Account: reset (erases all your data, the account stays) or delete your account. Both actions are irreversible.

14. Practical tips

Be consistent: log every session, even small ones. Your dashboard becomes truly meaningful after a few sessions.
Log your rakeback and bonuses: they are part of your real result.
Fix a balance gap with “Adjust balance” rather than a fake deposit: your statistics stay accurate.
Analyze your leaks: filter by session type and check the “Best time to play” widget.
Set goals: monthly volume, target ROI.
Mobile: use the app from your phone to log a session right after playing.
