The Session Journal connects technical study with the hands and results from your own play. Track sessions and bankroll, save noteworthy hands during a break and review each decision street by street later.
Track sessions and bankroll
Record the game type, stakes, buy-ins, rebuys, cash-outs, duration, location and notes. The journal calculates profit or loss and can maintain an optional bankroll balance with deposits and withdrawals.
Save hands while they are fresh
Interesting hands are easy to forget after a long session. Save the cards, positions and actions when you have a moment, then complete the analysis later. You can also attach a photo when that is the quickest way to preserve table information.
Replay hands street by street
The Hand Replayer reconstructs the action in sequence. Reviewing one street at a time helps prevent the final result from distorting how you judge an earlier decision.
Keep study data local
Journal entries, recorded hands and attached photos are stored on your device. PLO Mentor does not upload this training activity to a server.
| Journal function | What to record | Study benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Session log | Stakes, duration, buy-ins and cash-out | Creates an accurate record of volume and results |
| Bankroll | Starting balance, deposits and withdrawals | Separates poker results from external money movement |
| Saved hand | Cards, positions and betting actions | Preserves a decision for later review |
| Hand Replayer | Street-by-street action | Encourages process-based analysis rather than result-based judgement |
Results are context, not proof
A short-term profit graph cannot confirm that a strategy is correct. Use results to track the practical side of your play and use hand review, equity and solver-based training to examine decisions.
