FAQ
Questions about this calculator
How quickly should poker blinds increase?
Home tournaments commonly use 15- to 20-minute levels and smooth increases of roughly 33 to 100 percent, depending on the desired pace.
Should every level double?
No. A smoother sequence such as 25/50, 50/100, 75/150, and 100/200 usually plays better than doubling every level.
When should antes begin?
Antes often begin after the early levels, once players understand the rhythm and the tournament needs more action.
