Notes from the director's chair
Plain, first-hand writing on running a poker club: the problems I hit organising our own nights, and how pkrclub sets out to solve them.
There's a poker club near you. Finding it is the hard part.
The clubs and tournaments near you outnumber the ones you can find, and clubs can't reach the players who'd love their night. How players and clubs discover each other, and why it's been so hard.
Read the guide →One poker night, five systems that don't talk to each other
Promotion, sign-ups, membership, the clock and the standings: five disconnected tools, and the work that lives in the gaps between them.
Read the guide →Running a poker tournament from your phone
Run the clock, knockouts, rebuys and seating from your phone at the table. It's role-based, with no laptop in the corner to orbit.
Read the guide →How long should a poker blind level be?
Why the clock is the wrong thing to stare at: estimating the chips in play, the 50 big blind rule, and solving for a level length that ends the night on time.
Read the guide →Poker Passport: one rating across every club
One portable record and a cross-club ELO rating that belong to the player, not to whichever club happened to host the game.
Read the guide →Designing a fair poker league formula
What actually makes league scoring fair: field-size and buy-in weighting, and best N of M standings that reward skill over turning up.
