Session Ritual (Before and After Playing)

In short: the app is with you at both moments of a session — a check-in before you sit down and a debrief after you play.

Plan: check-in and debrief (result + focus) on Free; the depth (costly hands, tilt) on Pro; the mentor's voice on Max

What it's for

Players who improve don't just play — they have a ritual. Poker Semi-Pro gives you two moments:

• Before you play: a target to bring to the table.
• After you play: an honest recap of what happened.

It's the habit that separates people who study from people who just click.

Before you play: the check-in

At the top of the Dashboard (Pro+), the "Before you play" card gives you three quick things:

1. Does your bankroll cover the stake? — "you're good to sit at NLX" or "consider dropping to NLY" (shows up only if you track your bankroll in Finance).
2. Today's focus — the point to fix, already with the actionable correction (not just the stat name).
3. Warm up in training — a button that opens Range Training on your focus scenario.

After you play: the Debrief

The Session screen (the "How was your last session?" link on the Dashboard) brings together, in one place, what used to be spread across four screens. "Session" = the most recent day you played. You see:

• Result — how much you made (in USD and bb/100), how many hands, duration, breakdown by stake.
• Did you hit your focus? — your focus stat for this session vs. your entire history (improved / stable / worse).
• Did you tilt? (Pro) — the day's trigger hand, with a replay.
• The hands that cost you the most (Pro) — the session's top costly hands, to review.

The mentor's voice (Max)

On the Max plan, the mentor speaks at both moments:

• At check-in: an opening line, connecting your focus to the day.
• At debrief: the "Your mentor's read" card — a short after-you-play verdict that values the decision (not just the result), addresses tilt carefully and closes with one thing to review before your next session. It writes based on your real numbers — it doesn't make anything up.

How to use it

1. Before sitting down: open the Dashboard and read the "Before you play" card — bankroll, focus and warm-up.
2. After you play: import the session's hands and open Session to see your recap.
3. On Max: read the mentor's take and bring the point it suggested to your next session.

Common questions

• Do I need Pro? The result and "did you hit your focus?" show up on Free. Costly hands and tilt are Pro. The mentor's voice is Max.
• The session doesn't show up. It only appears after you import the day's hands. Without new hands, there's nothing to summarize.
