User Guide

Getting Started

When you first open 1Poker, a short onboarding walkthrough introduces the core features. You can optionally load sample data to explore the app before entering your own sessions.

The app is organized into five tabs:

• Bankroll — your financial dashboard with deposits, withdrawals, and profit overview
• Sessions — view, filter, and manage all poker sessions
• Hands — browse and search every hand you've recorded
• Stats — charts and breakdowns of your results
• More — equity tools, pot odds, ICM calculator, player database, and settings

Bankroll Dashboard

The bankroll dashboard is your home screen. It shows a real-time snapshot of your poker finances.

What you'll see

• Current Bankroll — your total bankroll, color-coded green or red
• Today's Profit — net result for the current day
• Weekly Profit — net result for the current week
• Active Session Banner — if you have a session in progress, a banner appears with quick access to return to it

Deposits & Withdrawals

Tap Deposit or Withdraw to record bankroll changes that aren't tied to a session. Each entry can include an optional note. Session results are recorded automatically when you end a session.

Recent Sessions

A list of your most recent sessions appears below the dashboard, showing the date, game type, stakes, and result for each.

Session Tracking

1Poker supports three session types: Cash Game, Tournament, and Sit & Go.

Starting a Session

Tap the + button on the Sessions or Bankroll tab. Fill in:

• Game Type — Cash Game, Tournament, or Sit & Go
• Game Variant — Hold'em, PLO, PLO8, Big O, Limit Omaha, Limit Omaha8, Mixed, or Other
• Stakes — select from common blind levels (1/2, 1/3, 2/5, 5/10, etc.)
• Buy-in — the amount you're buying in for
• Location — type a venue name, or let the app auto-detect it based on your GPS location. If you've played at a venue before, 1Poker will recognize it when you're nearby

Tournament Fields

When you select Tournament or Sit & Go, additional fields appear:

• Field Size — total number of entrants
• Finish Position — where you placed
• Add-ons — record additional chip purchases
• Rebuys — track multiple buy-ins

The app automatically calculates your ROI and whether you finished in the money.

Session List

The Sessions tab shows all your sessions with filtering and search:

• Filter by game type, stakes, or location
• Search by venue name
• Sort by date, profit, or hourly rate
• Quick filter chips for Cash, Tournament, or Winning/Losing sessions

On iPad, sessions display in a split view with the session list on the left and details on the right.

Location Auto-Detection

1Poker can use your current location to automatically suggest a venue when starting a session. The first time you play somewhere, type the venue name. On future visits, the app recognizes you're at the same location and fills it in for you.

Live Session

Once a session is started, you enter the active session view with real-time tracking.

Live Metrics

• Timer — running clock showing hours, minutes, and seconds
• Current Stack — your chip count, updated as you play
• Profit — calculated as current stack minus total invested
• Hourly Rate — profit divided by elapsed hours
• Stack Chart — a live line chart showing your stack progression over time

Actions During a Session

• Update Stack — enter your current chip count at any point. Each update is recorded in the stack history chart
• Rebuy — record an additional buy-in. This increases your total invested and updates your current stack
• Add-on (tournaments) — purchase additional chips
• Record Hand — add a hand to this session (see Hand Recording)
• Quick Notes — jot down observations without leaving the session
• Seat Setup — configure your table layout with player names and positions

Seat Configuration

Before recording hands, you can set up your table:

1. Select your seat (1–10)
2. Mark the button position
3. Assign names to other seats (tap a seat to add a player name, or mark it as an unknown player)

This configuration carries into hand recording, so player names and positions are pre-filled automatically.

Ending a Session

Tap End Session and enter your final cash-out amount. For tournaments, you'll also enter your finish position and field size. The session result is automatically recorded in your bankroll.

Hand Recording

1Poker captures complete hand histories with a step-by-step recording flow.

• Set the seat count (2–10 players)
• Enter blinds (small blind, big blind) and optional ante
• Toggle straddle if applicable
• Enter your stack size
• Choose the game variant if different from the session

If you've set up seat configuration for the session, your position and the other players' names are pre-filled.

• Player name — type a name or select from your saved player database with auto-complete

Step 3: Hole Cards

Select your hole cards using the visual card picker:

• 2 cards for Hold'em

Step 4: Action Sequence

Record the action on each street (preflop, flop, turn, river):

• Tap a player position to record their action: Fold, Check, Call, Bet, Raise, or All-in

  • Preflop: 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, All-in
  • Postflop: 33%, 50%, 75%, 100% pot, All-in
• Blind posts and straddles are recorded automatically

Pot Odds Calculator

Quickly determine whether a call is profitable.

How to Use

1. Enter the current pot size
2. Enter the bet you're facing

What You Get

• Required Equity — the minimum win percentage you need to break even on a call

Compare the required equity to your hand's actual equity (from the equity calculator or your own estimate) to decide whether calling is profitable.

ICM Calculator

Calculate each player's equity share of the prize pool based on chip stacks.

Inputs

• Number of players (2–10)
• Prize pool — total dollar amount
• Payout structure — choose a preset (e.g., 50/30/20) or enter custom payouts per finishing position
• Chip stacks — each player's current stack

Results

The calculator shows each player's ICM equity in dollars, representing their fair share of the prize pool given the current chip distribution. Useful for chop negotiations and understanding deal equity at final tables.

Player Tracking

Build a database of opponents you play against regularly.

Player Profiles

Each player entry includes:

• Name — full name (required)
• Nickname — optional display name
• Tags — categorize players with labels like LAG, TAG, Nit, Fish, Reg, Calling Station, Maniac, or custom tags
• Notes — free-text observations about tendencies, tells, and patterns

Automatic Tracking

When you record hands with named villains, 1Poker automatically tracks:

• Number of hands played against each opponent
• When you last played with them

Using Players in Hands

When entering a hand, type a player name and 1Poker will suggest matches from your saved database. If you set up seat configuration for a session, player names are automatically carried into each hand you record.

Search & Sort

Find players by name or tag. Sort the list by name, number of hands played, or when you last saw them.

Sharing Hands

Share any recorded hand with other 1Poker users via a link.

How It Works

1. Open a hand and tap the share button

What's Shared

The link contains all hand details: hole cards, board cards, action sequences, positions, pot size, and result. No data is uploaded to any server — everything is encoded directly in the URL.
