    From the menu, tap ♠️ Poker tournaments, then ♠️ New tournament.

  3. Pick a blind structure Pro and up

    Pick a template: Quick game, Turbo, Standard home game, Club night or Deep stack. Open Generator settings to set the length, level minutes, starting stack, antes and breaks, then tap ↻ Regenerate from these settings. You can change any number in the table, or add + Level and + Break.

  4. Set the buy-in, rebuys and add-ons Pro and up

    Set the Buy-in and any House fee, which stays out of the prize pool. Turn on Rebuys or Add-on to set their price, chips and when they are allowed. Play money turns cash off and keeps points only.

  5. Set payouts and bounties Pro and up

    Payout mode Automatic by field size is the easy choice. You can also pick a shape, or type your own percentages or amounts. The preview shows the prize pool and the places paid. Add a Bounty per player for knockouts.

  9. Bust-outs, rebuys and add-ons Pro and up

    On the Players tab, each player has Bust, Rebuy and Add-on. Bust asks who knocked them out, for bounties. ↶ Undo takes back the last bust, rebuy, add-on or move.

  10. Balance the tables Premium

    With more than one table, the console suggests moves to keep the tables even, when to break a table, and when to seat the final table. Tap Move to accept a move.

  11. Make a deal Pro and up

    On the Money tab, tap 🤝 Deal calculator. Enter everyone’s chips and tap Calculate. It shows a chip chop (split by stack), an ICM split (by each stack’s chance of finishing in each paid place) and a hybrid halfway between. Pick one and tap Record this deal.

  12. Show it on a TV and on stream Pro and up

    On the Settings tab, tap Copy TV for the TV display and Copy overlay for your stream. These links work without signing in. Regenerate links stops the old links working.
