Online players can play more hands in a day than a live player sees in a month. That volume is a big advantage for learning — but only if you keep good records across every site you play on.
The problem with site-by-site records
Many players have money on two or three sites, play cash games on one and tournaments on another, and also play live sometimes. Each site shows only its own history, and some sites now limit access to hand histories. A single bankroll tracker gives you one total picture.
What online players should track
- Site, game and stakes (for example NL50 6-max).
- Session result and hours, or at least daily totals.
- Number of hands or tables, if you want bb/100.
- Deposits, withdrawals and rakeback, kept separate from playing results.
The stats that matter online
- bb/100: the standard online win rate.
- Results by site and format: fast-fold, regular tables, spins, MTTs.
- Bankroll in buy-ins for your current stake. See the NL50 bankroll guide and other online stakes.
HUD and bankroll tracker together
A HUD studies your opponents; a bankroll tracker keeps score of your own results across everything. Read bankroll tracker vs HUD for the differences, and check each site’s rules on third-party software.
The free PokerTracking tracker logs online and live sessions together, so your bankroll and win rate always reflect all of your poker.
