Session tracker
Log a session in ten seconds — what you started with, what you left with, when you sat down and when you stood up. PotCheck works out the rest: hourly, big blinds per hour, your bankroll graph, your worst downswing, when you play best, and how sure you can actually be that you're a winning player.
Example data Everything below is a made-up player — 46 live sessions at 1/2 and 2/5 — so you can see what your own numbers will look like.
Your hourly is +$35.37/hr, but 200h 30m of poker can't pin it down that precisely. Allowing for your own swings, your true rate is 95% likely to be somewhere from +$9.21 to +$61.52/hr. That whole range is above zero: you can be confident you're a winning player in these games.
Profit against hours played — the slope is your hourly
Now +$7,091 after 200h 30m. Every session as a table.
Your hourly after each session, with its 95% range
The shaded band is where your true hourly could plausibly be. It narrows as you play — slowly, because poker swings are large next to any realistic edge.

Risk of ruin is the chance of losing your whole $22,091 bankroll if you kept playing these games at this rate forever. It assumes your measured hourly is your true one — which, see above, it may not be.
Nothing stands out yet. Every gap below is the size luck produces on its own. With your swings, proving a 10 bb/hr edge for one day, time or stake takes roughly 380 hours played in it.

In big blinds an hour, so different stakes compare fairly. Cash games only. Session length can be cause as well as effect: long sessions are often the ones spent chasing a loss, short ones the ones you quit while ahead. This shows the pattern, not which way it runs.
Small groups are mostly noise: a stake you've played for six hours tells you very little.

Add up every session's result and divide by every hour you played. Don't average each session's hourly: a 12-hour session should count three times as much as a 4-hour one.
Up $200 in 4 hours, then down $150 in 6, is +$50 over 10 hours: +$5 an hour. Averaging the two sessions' hourlies — +$50 and −$25 — would say +$12.50, more than twice too much.
Divide by the big blind to compare results across stakes: $10 an hour at 1/2 is 5 bb/hr, and the same 5 bb/hr at 2/5 is $25 an hour. Online, where you see far more hands, results are usually counted per 100 hands instead: bb/100.
Less than it feels. A live player who truly wins 5 bb an hour, swinging 70 bb an hour, is still down after 100 hours about one time in four — and needs about 750 hours of results before they prove it. The win rate calculator works it out for your numbers; the tracker does it from your sessions.
Big enough that one long downswing can't take all of it. The risk of ruin calculator shows your chance of going broke and the bankroll for a 5% or 1% risk. Set your bankroll in the tracker and it works yours out from your own results.
Every figure above is calculated from sessions, never typed in — and every rate comes with the range it could really be in, because a win rate over fifty hours is mostly luck. Free, no ads, and your results export to CSV whenever you want them.
