Tracking your sessions accurately.

Simply what I do.

I have long term roll  (pensions/ISAs/ house) and short term life/poker/gambling roll. I have too much money flying about between sites and real life stuff to try and separate that lot.  I try and only ever put money into the long term roll, though can't say that always holds.  I already spread the money over so many sites I have no desire to introduce more transfers/complications.

I usually update the poker stuff on a spreadsheet the day after a session, but sometimes do 2 or 3 before I catch up.  Betting spreadsheet is once a week or sometimes longer, as I do less betting than poker.  I track poker by type of game/site.  If I am losing at something I like to know even if I am very slow to do anything about it.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

The main thing is to record every session and tournament you play, so you know where you are. That way if you dip into your poker roll to buy something, or use your life roll to buy into a comp you still know how much you should have in your bankroll.

Used to do that years ago and enjoyed it but really cba loading the laptop up each day. Anyone recommend an app? Or is there an editable spreadsheet programme on ipad?

I just use OPR and enable it to record P'stars/FTP profit and losses.

Simple and effective for me but I only play a very small schedule.
