I've run this software for countless games and it's the fantastic at showing the basic running blinds/time etc. It won't track individual stats or anything but it's completely customizable -- even during the game -- you can adjust things like the blind time. It has payouts, house % and much more. Plus if you have a spare bit of time, you can play against the computer. You can even set it up to run the same blinds/progression as you run in your home game for practice.

No bids yet, starting bid + shipping under $10 -- a steal if you ask me. There is a newer version out not but I do not like it nearly as well. I set up my iMac with it running and a 50' VGA cable to another monitor so everyone can see...works perfect.

Have you tried Poker Pro Academy? If so, how does it compare?

How about Tournament Director, its freeware so I'm not sure how it compares (I have the older version), this new one has a "prettier" interface. I've never used too many of my versions features, pretty much just used it as a level/blind timer.

I'm sorry I have not tried any of those, but this one does have the advantage of going both ways -- Mac & PC! here is a crappy old pic I shot during a basement game -- I sometimes use a projector to make the image bigger depending on how many are playing....

I own this software. I agree with everything said so far.

However, I also purchased Tournament Director. I have to say that Tournament Director can do everything that other software can do except the ability to play poker against the computer. IMHO, Tournament Director is the better purchase. It is only $24.99 to purchase a license (never expires) and this includes all update downloads. It has more features than I can even come close to covering. I suggest you download the evaluation copy and try it out before buying either software. I think you'll find that Tournament Director is the far superior product.

Just check out this screenshot. I love that shot of my chips right on the screen.

cool agalvan...maybe something for Santa to bring me! (assuming it runs on Mac) -- Just checked it out -- it DOES NOT run on Mac -- so hey, if you're a Mac user, you (and I) know the frustration of finding software -- this one DD Poker is a diamond!

Ouch!! I didn't realize it was for PC only.

I second Tournament Director!!!

I have used it now for going on 7 months. Once you purchase the full version and register the software it is COMPLETELY customizable as shown by agalvan's screenshot. You can do leagues, seasons, etc and it keeps track of all the stats you could imagine. Not individual play though! One thing I like is, once you are done with a tournament you can export the stats to an HTML file ready for posting to your sight or just to email out to your group.

I was skeptical at first but now I know it was definitely worth the $25. Too bad it only works on PC and not MAC...

i've gotta give mad props to dr neau's tournament manager. i've been using it for over a year now for my monthly tourneys. i changed over from td when i first started (i can't remember the reason).

here's a screencap of the final display at the end of our last game. (you can see that this app is definitely customizable). it runs on java so it works on a mac too.
