Straddled is the home-poker tracker your friend group needs. Log buy-ins and re-buys during the night. When the chips come down, enter cash-outs once — Straddled handles every settlement, every superlative, and a receipt designed to land in your group chat before anyone leaves the table. WHAT YOU GET — Live session tracking Add players (group members or guests), log buy-ins, log re-buys. Anyone can self-report a rebuy mid-hand. Nothing to interrupt the game. — One-tap settlement At cash-out, Straddled runs the math and tells everyone exactly who owes who. No more "I think Mike owes Jake $40, or was it $45?" Net-balance minimization means fewer payments to send. — Superlatives that earn themselves The Shark (biggest winner). The ATM (most re-buys). The Rock (longest stretch on one stack). The Phoenix (came back from the dead). The Iceman (broke even like a sociopath). Awarded automatically from the data — no voting, no arguments. — A receipt your group will actually share Every closed session generates a clean graphic with the winners, the superlatives, and the settlement. Built for screenshots and group-chat brag rights. — Group leaderboards Track who's up across every session. Monthly, yearly, or all-time. Reset whenever the new season starts. — Personal stats Your net across all groups. Win rate. Heat index when you're running good. Charts that show whether you're actually as good as you tell yourself. — Friends Add friends across groups. Check head-to-head records. See whose night you ruined this month. WHAT STRADDLED IS NOT Straddled does not move money. We don't process payments. We don't take a cut. Settlements are IOUs — you Venmo, Zelle, or hand over cash like you always have. Straddled just makes sure the number is right. Built for home games, friend groups, and the kind of night you'll talk about for a week.
