What is a poker bankroll tracker?
A poker bankroll tracker records the money you set aside for poker and updates it every time you play. Instead of guessing from memory or juggling a spreadsheet, you see your real balance, your results and how much risk you're taking at any moment.
What you can track
- Starting bankroll, deposits and withdrawals — so cashing out to pay a bill doesn't look like a losing session.
- Multiple bankrolls — separate live and online money, or keep a separate roll for each poker site (Pro).
- Buy-ins by stake — the number of buy-ins you have for every cash game and tournament level you play.
- Bankroll goals — set a target, such as enough to move up to $2/$5, and track your progress.
Why tracking your bankroll matters
Most players overestimate their results because big wins are memorable and small losses are forgotten. Tracking every session removes that bias. It also protects you from going broke: when your buy-ins at a stake drop below your limit, you know it's time to move down. Learn the rules in our poker bankroll management guide.
