How to
Use Poker Timer

Game Setup

01. Setup the Structure

Head to the Game tab to configure the number of players, buy-in, and re-buys. Enable Ante if your tournament uses it. The Prize Pool and Average Stack will calculate automatically.

02. Configure Blinds & Smart Generation

In the Tournament Structure section, you can manually edit blind values and durations. Use the Generate Levels feature to quickly build a structure based on starting blinds.

Our application uses a Linear Pattern algorithm. It analyzes the difference between your first two levels to calculate a consistent growth curve. The function ensures a professional structure by automatically setting Big Blinds as double the Small Blind and inserting scheduled breaks to maintain game flow.

03. Manage Chips

Use the Chips tab to define colors and denominations for your physical chips. Drag and drop to reorder or edit values directly on the chip icons.

04. Instant Start & Live Adjustments

There is no mandatory multi-step preconfiguration required to begin. You can launch your tournament immediately and refine settings on the fly. Whether you need to add a player mid-game, adjust re-buys, or tweak the blind structure, our system processes updates in real-time without harming the active timer or tournament state.
