PokerLog has three main modes of operation. The Ring Game list lets you keep track of all of your ring games. The Tournament list lets you keep track of all of the tournaments you play. Finally, the Bankroll list lets you keep track of miscellaneous changes to your bankroll.
The screen shot above shows a sample of a Ring Game list. The numbered items below correspond to the blue numbers in the screen shot.
Tap on any column heading to sort the list using that column. Tap on the column a second time to reverse the sort order.
Tap on a session entry to see the details of that session or to edit the session.
Tap on the New Session button to create a new session.
This value shows your total bankroll, from all ring games, tournaments and bankroll adjustments.
The screen shot above shows the session information form. Use this form to enter all of the information about a ring game session.
The date should contain the date that you started the session. It is automatically set to the current date when you tap the New Session button.
The hours control shows the length of this session. Tap the time to set the session length.
The Room, Game, and Limits and Buy fields all have popup menus. PokerLog remembers all of your past rooms, games, limits and buyins and puts them into the lists automatically.
Use the Buy field to record your buy-in.
Use the Out field to record your cash-out. PokerLog will calculate your win or loss from the Buy and Out fields.
Tap the note icon to load the note in a full-screen editing window, to make it easier to edit or read long notes.

Tap on the hours or minutes button to change them. The start time is set for you automatically when you first create a new session. Minutes are rounded off to the nearest 15-minute mark.
Tap on the AM or PM buttons to specify morning or afternoon.
The total time is calculated automatically from the start and end times. If the end time is earlier than the start time, then PokerLog will treat the session as having started on one day and ended on the next. For example, if the start time is 8:30pm and the end time is 1:30am, PokerLog will calculate the session length as five hours. Sessions longer than 24 hours are not supported. (Go to sleep!)
Tap the Set End Time... button to set the end time to the current time. This is a quick way to mark the end of the session.
