“Hi. Tell me about your game. I’ll organize what I understand, ask for what is missing, and keep the important things clear.”

THE PROBLEM IS NOT POKER

It is carrying every detail in your head after a long night.

WITHOUT NORA

Notes on a napkin. A cashier’s memory. A missed rebuy. Receipts in a drawer. “What did we actually make?”

→

WITH NORA

Tell Nora what happened. She puts it in order, asks the right follow-up, and gives you an answer you can see or hear.

Pen & paper → spreadsheets → your own Nora

MIKE’S STORY

I didn’t set out to build software.

My name is Mike. I’m from the United States, and poker has been part of my life for more than 30 years.

I moved to Costa Rica in 2000. In 2009, while visiting Medellín, I played a local tournament and joined a cash game afterward. That is where I met Nora. She was a Dealer.

In 2014 I moved to Medellín and started a small apartment game. It grew into Expat Poker — a home-game community that evolved into a private club. Over the years, people from 95 countries came through our doors.

“One of the first people I hired was Nora. She became the person who kept the operation together.”

She dealt. Then she became cashier. Then she handled Dealers, food, drinks, expenses, rent, cash, rake, tips, and the final number I needed to know at the end of the night.

She helped organize more than a game. She helped organize my life in poker.

FROM NOTEBOOK TO NORA

For years, Nora ran the game with pencil, paper, and memory.

She wrote down Players, buy-ins, rebuys, cash-outs, expenses, rake, drinks, tips, and Team payments by hand. At the end of the night she counted, calculated, subtracted, and gave me the result.

Later came Excel and Google Sheets. They helped, but someone still had to remember every detail, find every receipt, and make sense of it after a busy session.

“I had Nora. Now I want every Game Owner to have their own Nora.”

That is the point of Nora.poker: not to make Game Owners into software operators, but to give them a dependable administrator who helps carry the work.

WHAT NORA ACTUALLY DOES

She is part of the Team.

BEFORE

Gets the game ready

Usual format, stakes, Team, payment methods, food and drink preferences.

DURING

Keeps the picture current

Seating, buy-ins, rebuys, cash-outs, rake, purchases, tables and questions.

AFTER

Helps close it properly

What is missing, what needs review, what the result was, and where to see detail.

“Nora, we bought twelve beers.”

“Which beer was it, what was the unit cost, and would you like to attach the receipt?”

“Carlos bought in for 500,000 cash.”

“I found Carlos. Please review the initial buy-in before I record it.”

THE CONVERSATION THAT BECOMES YOUR SETUP

Don’t fill out a form. Start by telling Nora about your game.

You can give Nora several details in one voice note. This practice tour shows the rhythm: she listens, organizes, makes safe suggestions, and asks only for the next thing she needs.

Nora Live practice conversation● development

Nora’s live assistant will be available when nora.poker is connected.

Hi. I’m Nora. Tell me about your game, or ask me what you would like to know.

YOUR FIRST SESSION

Once Nora knows your usual game, she stops making you repeat yourself.

Most Game Owners spread the same game at the same stakes. Nora starts there and makes it easy to say yes or correct the one thing that changed.

“For tonight, should I use your usual 1/2 Hold’em game, one table, eight seats, and your $100–$500 buy-in range?”

“Yes. Patty and Karen will deal. Joe is bartending. Joanna is working tonight.”

RUN A LIVE GAME

During the game, say what happened. Or tap when that’s quicker.

Voice is the fastest path. Guided shortcuts are there when you want Nora to show the current Players, seats, or payment methods on screen.

A GOOD ADMINISTRATOR DOES NOT GUESS

Nora keeps the information loop moving.

NoraVoice note · 0:14

“I have 14 buy-ins and 13 final cash-outs. Who is still playing?”

NoraVoice note · 0:14

“Your bar count is not complete, so tonight’s net is provisional.”

“Table 2 opened, but I do not have a confirmed start time.”

NoraVoice note · 0:14

▁▃▆▅▇▅▂▆▃▁

“You usually assign two Dealers. Patty is confirmed — should I assign Karen too?”

That is the difference between a chat box and an administrator: Nora gets answers when you ask, and requests what she needs to keep the game accurate.

ASK, DON’T HUNT

When you want to know something, ask Nora.

NoraVoice note · 0:14

▁▃▆▅▇▅▂▆▃▁

“Nora, what was last night’s rake, expenses, and net?”

LAST NIGHT · FINALIZED

Gross rake$1,840

Expenses−$418

Net result$1,422

AVERAGE RAKE PER HOUR

Ask per session · month to date · lifetime

Nora retrieves authorized reports from your game’s records. She does not make up the numbers.

SUPPORT THAT STAYS IN THE CONVERSATION

“Nora, how do I correct a cash-out?”

NoraVoice note · 0:14

▁▃▆▅▇▅▂▆▃▁

“I’ll guide you to the protected correction process. Important financial changes stay reviewable.”

Nora can help with setup, sessions, transactions, reports, and finding the manual workspace. When she needs to, she escalates to human support.

PRIVACY & CONTROL

Your game belongs to you.

Each game is isolated.
The owner controls access.
Team sees only what their job permits.
Players see only their authorized information.
Important actions require review.
Manual screens remain for detail, correction and audit history.

I HAD NORA. NOW I WANT YOU TO HAVE YOURS.

Start with a short conversation.

By the time you reach your PokerBud workspace, Nora can already know your game, your usual setup, and how you prefer to operate. You have seen how it works because you helped set it up.

You are not starting from a blank screen. You are ready to run a game.

We’ll continue where you left off. No price is shown here.

“I’m ready when you are.”
