Hi, first of all great app man. It will improve a lot my game nights, thank you:)
Two questions, I can't use this two features: "
Starting from version 1.2.4, the manager can synchronize with another instance of HPTM on a different device which then will duplicate the screen, making it possible to have multiple devices displaying the stats around the place where you host your tournaments.
When pressing the title for 5+ seconds, a player with a connected device can enter a code to gain "admin access" and control the tournament remotely."
I just purchased a television with GoogleTV, and while I was installing and sideloading all my apps, it occurred to me how awesome it would be if I could load HPT on the TV, or a Firestick, or a Chromecast with GoogleTV.
Play store doesn't recognize these other devices as compatible, and the apk from itch.io doesn't sideload.
Any possibility of making this work?
Again, as always, thanks for an amazing Tournament Poker Tool.
To be honest it is a feature I'd really like to add, but is it feasible? How would we be able to enter blind levels etc with a remote control? I know people can connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but Google will demand from me that the entire app is usable with just the remote.
At the moment i don't have an Android TV, so I can't test it myself. However I do have a Chromecast, never thought of trying with that. Something to look into indeed.
Many apps require input, such as searching on Netflix, and a keyboard pops up for use with the remote. I don't really know how that's done from your end, though, I just know it happens (you know us silly users).
I was thinking the backup and restore function would be ideal to get a Blind Structure in place, or connecting through the network feature. But, yes, it would need the input function.
Bear in mind a chromecast can only mirror a device (haven't thought to try that), but building in casting would be even better; especially a background cast.
*Installing* HPTM would be on a "Chromecast with GoogleTV" (great device, love mine entirely). Or a Firestick. Or a SmartTV powered by Android {meaning it has GoogleTV, like the CCwGTV).
And, of course, column edit would still be cool. 🙂
A site where I can download the new previous version (1.5.4?)? Or can I get the A.P.K. file by mail? The reason is that in the previous version, the HDMI cable was connected to the mobile phone to enlarge the TV, and the level up option or revine check was performed by connecting the Bluetooth mouse, but the mouse is not working in the new version.
Not 100% sure if I understand your question correctly, but I'm currently working on an update where you'll be able to hide some info from the dashboard if you like. But with the current version that is not possible, no.
I fixed the 1st and 3rd issue in the latest build, but could not reproduce the 2nd. Could you maybe give me a link to the mp3 files you're trying to use? Thx!
It's not possible to add cards on the board, but giving input and feedback (as you did) is indeed possible. Feature requests I add myself to avoid people spamming the board.
The code in the corner for matchmaking disappears when I rotate the screen and doesn't reappear.
I'm not seeing the import/export buttons. Is it still pending for us android using poker geeks?
Also, would love to use exact numbers and text instead of only percentages as our charity prizes are gifts rather than cash (gift card, prize basket, hotel weekend, etc.).
Could the "prizes" scroll, or flip screens to show all prizes?
Last request, would it be possible to edit the entire time (of level) column at once, rather than change each level from 10 minutes to 20 minutes one at a time? Perhaps even change "all below" (kind of like a spreadsheet might)?
Oh my, good catch of the matchmaking code rotate bug, I'll fix that asap.
Indeed, the export/import should now come into a next update, the networking was a quite invasive change so I did not spend much time in other features.
I'll look into those other things too, I'd love them too indeed.
Loving the app! Thank you very much. Couple of questions:
1) When running the tournament manager, parts of the text in the upper right corner of my screen disappears. My screen doesn't seem to be wide enough.
2) I'd like the boxes with information about the current blind level and next blind level to be white text on seethrough background instead of dark text inside white text boxes. Can I change this myself, or is it something you have to change?
I've added a screenshot showing both the disappearing text in the top right corner, and what I'd like the blind level design to look like
If it's not too much to ask, it would be lovely if you could reply to this post once/if you add the option to change the white textbox graphics. Cheers!
Just downloaded and can't wait to host my first game using this product. I'm having issues finding eveything this program can do. Having issues saving all the information I input such as blinds and cost. where am I going wrong...
Hi Bob, I'm trying to understand where it goes wrong for you - in the editor view where you change blinds and everything there is a button in the lower right corner that looks like an old diskette (next to the Start button). If you click that, a pop up will confirm that the settings have been saved.
Love your suggestions, I'm putting them on my Trello board
I'll see what I can do with suggestion 1. I'd love suggestion 2 myself and it's actually something I'm planning to do together with a friend of mine. It's not such a small feature so it will take some time.
Suggestion 3 yes! Why didn't I think of that myself either. Putting it in today.
My group used this to run a tournament a couple of weeks ago. Overall opinion - great stuff! We'll definitely be making use of it again.
One issue with the Android client connected to a Windows instance though. The connection worked fine, and tournament management functions worked perfectly, but when a level ended the display on the phone did not update correctly to display the new level with timer countdown. The display was stuck with the old level up top, it's timer at zero, with the new level still shown below in the "preview next level" part of the screen.
It doesn't appear we have the ability to add new cards to the Trello board, so I'll post my new feature requests here:
An option to automatically pause the timer at the end of a level. Programming in breaks works well, but with a social game it'd be nice to have the "end of break alarm" trigger, and then have the clock pause until an admin to restarts the timer once everyone's back at the table.
Being able to choose our own audio alert sounds is great, but it would be nice to be able to add more alerts during a level, at times we choose, rather than just the current limited fixed alerts.
Hi! Thank you for this great feedback! I'll add some Trello cards for this. Certainly your first feature request is one I could use too.
Concerning the Android issue: is it possible that the version on Android was a different version than the one on Windows? They should both be the same, at the time of writing this: 1.3.7. You can see the version in the lower left corner of the tournament selection screen.
I just fired up HPTM on both devices to check and they're both running 1.3.7. Whilst there, I started the tournament running again and connected to it, then used the timer slider to get the level to the last few seconds, and wouldn't you know it - everything behaved the way it should this time. Even tried locking the phone, and putting the app into the background during a level change, and it was all fine. If it happens again, I'll try to note anything special about the circumstances.
Doing that did remind me of another (very minor) issue - the upper left and right corners of the main tournament screen are being rendered outside of the view port, truncating the start of the title, and the end of the "Time to Break" and its timer when running.
Here's a screenshot from my Surface Pro 6, which is acting as the tournament server:
Here's probably a stupid question but I cannot figure out how to update to the newest/newer version of this program on my computer. I'm sure it's located on the back end right and I just need some guidance? Or should I just delete and re download the newest version? Help! Thanks.
I'm running 1.3.6 on android, but I'm not seeing the import/export buttons. Is it still pending for us mobile poker geeks?
Also, the percentage feature doesn't seem to be working. It always seems to keep 100% in the payout, even though I'm only paying out 90%. (I kind of oversimplified my reasons, but the result is there.)
Also, would live to use exact numbers and text instead of percentages as our charity prizes are gifts rather than cash (gift card, prize basket, hotel weekend, flat screen TV etc.).
Indeed on Android the export/import is not implemented yet; it requires additional permissions for the app + it's unclear to me how a person would copy an export to another smartphone at this moment, how would you do that? Via google drive or something?
Concerning the percentage: do you mean that you want to pay out only 90%? I never considered that use case, indeed, the Prizes try to total up to 100%. But your request is valid, I'll look into that, should not be too much work.
The text in the prizes is on my todo-list.
Thanks for your input, that's really valuable and appreciated!
Transferring the file could be by Google drive, NFC, Bluetooth, or even email, though through email revolts a few Greeks (like myself!)
Google Drive would be my method as I can then share the file from one place to multiple devices, if necessary. I'm sharing your app, so structure sharing is a natural extension! :)
There are two reasons for paying less than 100%.
The first is when the buy-in has a portion of the donation (house fee). For example, @$125 buy-in could have $25 to the "house" and $100 to the prize pool. Thus, only 80% would be in the prize pool.
Ideally that percentage or value could be input in the event set-up so that the prize pool only reflects the prizes, and not what people paid in. It's how actual card rooms display prize pools. $100+$25 (prize pool plus house fee) as it were. Keeps a cleaner appearance that way.
The text option will be great, an ideal view for the players.
Also, and I'd be willing to donate the time creating the .wav files for it, would it be possible to have the level change be fully announced? (i.e. "Attention dealers and players, if you have not started the shuffle, blinds for the next hand are 100, 200 with a 25 ante." and "Dealers and players, we are now on a 15 minute break.") I'm not a coder, so there may be an easier way than piecing together voice clips.
When your adding text, comments would be great, too. Best example is "Coloring Up Green 25 chips", during breaks, and the like.
Finally (really), it would be great if it was possible to set all the level times, or a range of times, at once. Rarely do levels change times until much later in a longer tournament. Settings for All, All Below 'X', and clicking in anv individual level would be great.
Hope I haven't rambled too much, but I always get a bit excited when I talk about your application.
I'll look into the export indeed. As for the payout one more question: if a separate house fee could be added, would you then always do a 100% payout of the prize pool? Because if you do a 80% overall payout (without house fee), there's also a 20% cut from the rebuys and the addons, I'm not sure if that is desired. Or in other words: do the rebuys and the addons also have a house fee?
Piecing together these audioclips is not something I'm going to implement, there's too many ways these levels could be announced plus I'd have to do it in 4 languages (maybe more in the future). What I could do however is use Google's Text-To-Speech for this. A user could type the announcements he wants after every level and the TTS does the rest. Nonetheless, this is not a small feature so it will take a while before I would have the time to start on this :)
Comments during the break, check (this could simply be displayed as text, no real need for audio). This will take careful consideration qua layout though.
Easier multi editing in level settings, check. Text in the prize structure, check.
I put all these suggestions on my Trello board, thanks!
Sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I really do appreciate all the effort you've put in since I last did.
The text to speech is nothing less than incredible!
As far being able to edit the blind structure en masse, if I could "column edit" the time of the blind level (similar to a spreadsheet), that would be awesome.
Even better if I could column edit from a certain point. Such as, I might need to have the first 10 levels be 15 minutes, the next 10 levels be 20 minutes, and the next 10 levels be 30 minutes.
Also, can we import/export in Android yet?
Last of all, and I know you've disliked the idea on the past, could you make it so we can edit the time and blind structure while running?
As always, the app is terrific and I really appreciate all the work you're putting in. I've updated my Google Play review to reflect my increased level of admiration.
Hi and thanks again! I ran a tournament yesterday and I must say I like the TTS feature myself too :) People really respond well to that. I'll be working on that some more since I received some good suggestions.
I guess with column edit you mean you can drag the cell value down as in Excel, right? That would indeed be neat. The spreadsheet feature is a 3rd party tool I use, but I'll see if I can add that.
Import/Export android is not in yet, I moved it up my priority list. I've added a "Edit schedule while running" task, but it's one that is going to take lots of testing.
Thanks for the rating, that's actually the best way to help me! If you want to donate that's possible via itch.io, just download the game here and enter a donation amount.
Thanks again for your feedback, that's really valuable for me and well appreciated!
Guys! Thank you so much for this! You did what I wanted to do like 10 years ago. I still use a 20 year old computer whose fan sounds like a dying mouse to play that old software program, because it's the best tournament software around, with the "add money" and save different tournament features. Even better than current casino software in my opinion!
I just donated, but I'd love to speak with you about some little improvements that could be made to it and share the great stories I have with running the program for literally the last 20 years. Now, I can finally use my computer from this century to play it.
Couple suggestions:
The old software did a "ding" for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, before the blinds changed. That's not customizable here. Can it be?
Can you customize the sound that plays when next levels switches?
I just downloaded it now, so I'm sure I'll find more!
Thanks for your kind words, really appreciate it, this is exactly why I made this program!
Happy to discuss improvements with you since you have such a long-lasting experience, reach out to me via e-mail (alex.vandenabeele[at]gmail.com) and maybe we can find a moment to chat.
The sounds can indeed be customized, but I have to admit it's not very well documented, you can find out how in this devlog.
New suggestion... Since I run charity tournaments, the prizes are sometimes items (tv, ipod, hotel stay, vacation, cruise, etc.) rather than only numbers for cash; plus color-up and break descriptions in the timer area.
It would be great it was possible to put text into those areas.
Hello, I find the application really good, but how can I synchronize a computer screen with your mobile phone once the application is installed on both?
Hey thanks for creating this program! How do I edit the sounds? Is there a way to manually type in how players are there to start a tournament instead of clicking it manually all the way up? Thanks! The old pokerroom.com home game organizer just stopped working on all my computers recently so really grateful you made this program.
I've just recently downloaded the android version of HPTM and I think it's the best poker tournament timer I've used. Is there an equivalent location to put custom sound files in for the android version as well? I've tried a couple of things under Android\data\be.avadev.hptm but haven't hit the right location (if it's available). Thanks for the great program!
In the current version (v1.2.11) the Android app won't load custom sound files, I'll check if I can add it in the next release, if its possible (it requires some extra rights on the device I think).
Hey Ava, Love the program and just downloaded it and will be using it tonight. I posted a couple times elsewhere about how much I love this program as I have been looking for 10 years for a way to play the old PokerRoom software on a newer computer than the 20 year old computer I still use when I use that software. Thank you! I wanted to reach out to chat with you about this, comments and praise mostly! Hopefully I can hear from you. Eric Prag
AWESOME that you allow phones, and the larger buttons in portrait mode make it SO much easier on a tablet.
There seems to be a glitch on the configuration page, though, when I stop the game. The button that usually goes back and forth between blinds and setup doesn't do anything. I have to back out to the start (of app) screen, then go back in to be able to adjust anything. It looks like the two setup screens are are overlayed.
Also, a feature that would be great, would be to allow editing of the prize pool while the game is running. I add a prize for additional players (every 10th); adjusting the payouts with the game running would keep the game on attached clocks, and keep me from rushing, and making mistakes, during breaks.
Hello unfortunately I am not using twitter, skype isnt working for you? Or we can use gmail chat if you give me your gmail. What about saturday afternoon? Somewhere between 12 - 17 00 CET? Thank you
Yes, skype works, but I don't want to give my skype id here publicly on itch.io, so I prefer to continue this conversation via a more private channel. You can reach me at alex.vandenabeele[at]gmail.com
Thank you for your superfast answer and sorry for my late response, here in east we have slower internet :D ( joke). I will try to answer ASAP now.
You have a lot of good points about app. I am not sure if you understand me in each point. Please can we schedule quick call / chat on skype? We can solve everything within few minutes and I will prepare graphics for quick better understanding . I am the same fan as you into poker and I think this ideas could be interesting for everyone. Thank you very much
Hello thank you for pokerwatch, I appreciate it so much.
About future improvements I have few suggestion which will be helpful for me :
1.add sound when someone is outkicked out of tournament
2. We have prizepool points + cash reward, in this case we will appreciate adding 2 numbers into the prize pool (cash and points).
3. add option to choose currency (included option to let i blank, without any currency just number)
4.As I mentioned in point 2, we are playing yearly league, and players are earning points for each tournament, it will be very nice if we can see somewhere top5-10 players (I will add name and points manually before each tournament starts)
I don't know how much you are busy, but if you can do this changes for me , I can send you some money reward or if you are busy and not interested in it, Can you share source codes with me? Thank you very much!!
I'm afraid you are mistaking this for another app, this is the Home Poker Tournament Manager (HPTM), not Poker Watch.
The first one I could do, but would that be a cheering sound or rather a mocking one? Or is it meant to inform all the tables that someone left?
The HPTM does not display currency because that is irrelevant, you'll most likely be using whatever currency your country uses during your home game, so no need to display that.
The HPTM currently does not keep track of who is participating in the game. That might indeed be an interesting addition, however it's a lot of work and hard to scale for all possible sizes of home games.
The question is also: how could we display all this information in a meaningful way on the screen? Would there be a list with participants on the screen with their points? That would clutter the current screen too much in my opinion.
No need to worry, "WS.Reputation.1" is just a warning from Norton that they haven't seen a specific file before. This makes sense, as I just released a new update. As soon as more Norton AV users will download the HPTM, this warning will go away by itself.
I would like to try this out on my computer but when i DL it and run the install i get an error message that says it cant be run on my system. any help that you could give would be great. here is a copy of the error that i'm getting.
the version of this file is not compatible with the verison of windows youre running...

We currently use Blinds Are Up for our weekly home games which seems pretty similar to your offering here. But, we have been searching high and low for an app that combines both the tournament management with a method of tracking buys-ins, add-ons, as well as finishing position and cash earnings. We basically want to establish a points system that ranks players and tracks a "championship" standings along with general $$$ metrics of total cash won / lost, etc. Any plans to add something like this down the road?
I have thought about that, since I'd want that for my own tournaments too. You're looking for data over multiple tournaments, right? It's a good idea for sure, but I'm afraid I won't have the time to implement this in the near future. I'm currently working on making the manager available on Android too, I'll finish that first and then I might consider this.
Can I ask you for network protocol between client and server?
I'm an AI enthusiast and I try to build some interest bot that don't need any rules of game, but can learn it just by playing. NL Holdem is very good virtual reality to test my algorithm of live evolution. So I'm looking for server of poker room where it can be play.
Is it possible to use your server to create tournaments for bots and then they playing a lot games. But I don't want to create any computer vision to make table information understudable for bots, only text messages.
And me again! A suggestion, any chance there could be a winnings structure that changes depending on how much is in the pot? I sometimes change the proportions if the pot gets bigger, e.g. changing from a 1/2 payout to 1/2/3 with 3 getting their initial stake back. Is that something that others do?! Could it be factored in?
You can always pause the game, change the payout settings and then resume again. But I don't think players would like to see this changed during the game though. The players that are behind, sure, but the ones on top will feel cheated.
I run charity tournaments, and I add a paying position for every additional 10th player, (past 30); as this happens quite often, I'd like to be able to expand the payouts without stopping the clock, or rushing during a break.
Also, in busy tournaments, it would be handy to have more than one admin system; allowing more "cashiers" to check people in.
Additional admins would also allow for supervisors to remove players and handle re-buys (as opposed to re-entries) and add-ons at the tables.
Some one else's suggestion of a pin for additional admin's seemed a good idea.
Thanks for a what seems a great app, I'm anxious to test it!
Thanks for this feedback, that's really appreciated!
I'll have to think about this; I like the suggestion of having a payout scheme in function of the number of participants... but which scheme or with what options is something I will need to think through, I can imagine lots of variants.
Additional admins is also a good idea, but only with the controls on the timer view and not the setup of the tournament, that is certainly something I can look into.
Hello again - I'm having problems with the HPTP app on android. It connects to the running tournament, but then disconnects and returns to the tournament lobby after a few seconds. Can't seem to get it to stay connected. The game is still there in the lobby list and i can rejoin it, but again get kicked out after a few seconds. Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions? Thanks!
That's a though one :) Can you check what the game log says? You can find it in %AppData%\..\LocalLow\AvaDev\HPTM on your computer. Getting the log from your android device is more difficult.
Lovely program / app. Any chance the app could be used to add rebuys / players? Means I could "manage" the game from my phone without having to keep going back to the laptop!
I thought about that as well. Main thing is you don't want anyone else to change those things so how can I ensure that? I want a simple user friendly workflow, if that's possible somehow I can add it.
Or you could just do whoever is the first to connect gets the buttons. Most likely that'd be the game admin. So it checks how many connected, if none then assign as admin and show the toggles. If one or more then don't show them. Perhaps?
Simple tool. I like it. I do wish that I could customize the background color to match my room color on big screen TV. Also, being a novice tournament host, I was looking for a tool that would take the number of players, chips available, average duration desired and calculate starting chip stacks and recommend the proper blind structure. Many tools do this but I can't seem to find one that's intuitive and simple.
Hi, thanks! Good suggestion about the color, that is indeed something for an update.
Concerning the tool about blinds calculation, I might add that one day, but it's not something easy. People have many different requirements and its hard to put that all in one tool. I use the blind structure calculator from pokersoup.com, it always predicted the duration of the tournament quite accurate.
Any plans of making the source code available? I really like what you've done. I'm a software developer and the only thing I would like to change is my group of friends and I don't play with antes so rather than having the blind/ante box, I'd change it to Small Blind/Big Blind in that box. This way the blinds could be bigger/more visible.
I'd rather not open source it, but I'm definitely open for requests/feedback. In my group we also never use ante's, so your request makes a lot of sense. I'll build an update where the ante is not shown if it is 0, displaying the blinds instead.
I'm also working on an app for Android where players can follow the tournament on their phones, this is now in testing so I'll probably release this change with that update.

Hi, first of all great app man. It will improve a lot my game nights, thank you:)
Two questions, I can't use this two features: "
Starting from version 1.2.4, the manager can synchronize with another instance of HPTM on a different device which then will duplicate the screen, making it possible to have multiple devices displaying the stats around the place where you host your tournaments.
When pressing the title for 5+ seconds, a player with a connected device can enter a code to gain "admin access" and control the tournament remotely."
Any video explaining this?
Thank you;)
In the settings you should enable "broadcast online". This is off by default, probably that's why it didn't work for you?
still doesn't work.
When it says press the title is it the name of the tournament we give?
Yes, indeed.
So, to make sure I understand this correctly:
Correct? Or is it somewhere in between where it fails?
Note: you might want to join the Discord, it's a bit easier to chat and maybe even share screens there.
Hi,
I believe the new release, 1.7.8, fixes your issue!
This may be way out there (aren't I always 😜)...
I just purchased a television with GoogleTV, and while I was installing and sideloading all my apps, it occurred to me how awesome it would be if I could load HPT on the TV, or a Firestick, or a Chromecast with GoogleTV.
Play store doesn't recognize these other devices as compatible, and the apk from itch.io doesn't sideload.
Any possibility of making this work?
Again, as always, thanks for an amazing Tournament Poker Tool.

Hi Barry,
I love the crazy ideas :)
To be honest it is a feature I'd really like to add, but is it feasible? How would we be able to enter blind levels etc with a remote control? I know people can connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but Google will demand from me that the entire app is usable with just the remote.
At the moment i don't have an Android TV, so I can't test it myself. However I do have a Chromecast, never thought of trying with that. Something to look into indeed.
Thanks!
Alex
Many apps require input, such as searching on Netflix, and a keyboard pops up for use with the remote. I don't really know how that's done from your end, though, I just know it happens (you know us silly users).
I was thinking the backup and restore function would be ideal to get a Blind Structure in place, or connecting through the network feature. But, yes, it would need the input function.
Bear in mind a chromecast can only mirror a device (haven't thought to try that), but building in casting would be even better; especially a background cast.
*Installing* HPTM would be on a "Chromecast with GoogleTV" (great device, love mine entirely). Or a Firestick. Or a SmartTV powered by Android {meaning it has GoogleTV, like the CCwGTV).
And, of course, column edit would still be cool. 🙂
Thanks, Barry
Hi Barry,
I've enabled support for Android TV, and it got approved by the Play Store, so it should work now on your Google TV?
I'll check it out, thanks!!
.In the new version, the title is not written in Korean. Is there any way to display text (Korean)?
I just noticed this is an issue in the Android version, it works on Windows. I'll look into it. Thanks for reporting!
v1.6.1 has been released that fixes this issue. Thanks again!
A site where I can download the new previous version (1.5.4?)? Or can I get the A.P.K. file by mail? The reason is that in the previous version, the HDMI cable was connected to the mobile phone to enlarge the TV, and the level up option or revine check was performed by connecting the Bluetooth mouse, but the mouse is not working in the new version.
I've placed the old version on this website for the time being.
May I ask, what type of mouse is this?
Not 100% sure if I understand your question correctly, but I'm currently working on an update where you'll be able to hide some info from the dashboard if you like. But with the current version that is not possible, no.
Thx. ^^v.
Request to display text as well as numbers in the percentage field.
If you check "Custom payout" you can do that!
Bugs:
1. Mirrored displays' voice announcements are one level BEHIND on the mirrored device.
While device 'A' (broadcaster) is saying "The Big Blind is 100...", device 'B' (receiver) is saying "The Big Blind is 50...".
2. I can't get an mp3 file to play on test or live.
When I change the default sounds to Star Trek sounds the Default Sound still plays.
When I put new sound in 'Level Warning (3s)' or 'Player Left Tournament' nothing plays at all.
Do the sounds need to be in a specific directory?
3. Continuous scroll without 10s delay.
Not really a bug, but it's just frustrating to wait that long for the scroll to start again.
It might be why some people think it's not working.
Maybe a shorter (3s?) delay?
Thanks again!
(suggestions after a while 😉)
Thanks for this! On it.
I fixed the 1st and 3rd issue in the latest build, but could not reproduce the 2nd. Could you maybe give me a link to the mp3 files you're trying to use? Thx!
It's just mp3 files within the device.
Shall I send them?
If possible, yes please. If I can reproduce the issue then it will be easy to fix.
I am honored. 😎
Is it too soon to mention a few things? 😇
I'm having a hard time figuring out Trello.
Mention away :)
It's not possible to add cards on the board, but giving input and feedback (as you did) is indeed possible. Feature requests I add myself to avoid people spamming the board.
Aaaahhhhhh..... I feel a bit less not as smart, now that I know that. 😁
Still love your amazing app!!
I'm running Android.
The code in the corner for matchmaking disappears when I rotate the screen and doesn't reappear.
I'm not seeing the import/export buttons. Is it still pending for us android using poker geeks?
Also, would love to use exact numbers and text instead of only percentages as our charity prizes are gifts rather than cash (gift card, prize basket, hotel weekend, etc.).
Could the "prizes" scroll, or flip screens to show all prizes?
Last request, would it be possible to edit the entire time (of level) column at once, rather than change each level from 10 minutes to 20 minutes one at a time? Perhaps even change "all below" (kind of like a spreadsheet might)?
Thanks again for your awesomeness!!!

Oh my, good catch of the matchmaking code rotate bug, I'll fix that asap.
Indeed, the export/import should now come into a next update, the networking was a quite invasive change so I did not spend much time in other features.
I'll look into those other things too, I'd love them too indeed.
Thanks for your input, much appreciated!
Loving the app! Thank you very much. Couple of questions:
1) When running the tournament manager, parts of the text in the upper right corner of my screen disappears. My screen doesn't seem to be wide enough.
2) I'd like the boxes with information about the current blind level and next blind level to be white text on seethrough background instead of dark text inside white text boxes. Can I change this myself, or is it something you have to change?
I've added a screenshot showing both the disappearing text in the top right corner, and what I'd like the blind level design to look like
1/ To be able to check: Is this the latest version? What is the resolution of the screen? I'll check if I can reproduce it.
2/ I'd have to change this... An option to toggle between black on white vs white on black seems doable yes. Adding it on my trello board.
Love what you did with the title :)
I've just released a new version, could you confirm whether this has this same issue? Thx!
It fixed the issue, thank you!
If it's not too much to ask, it would be lovely if you could reply to this post once/if you add the option to change the white textbox graphics. Cheers!
Just downloaded and can't wait to host my first game using this product. I'm having issues finding eveything this program can do. Having issues saving all the information I input such as blinds and cost. where am I going wrong...
Thanks...
Hi Bob, I'm trying to understand where it goes wrong for you - in the editor view where you change blinds and everything there is a button in the lower right corner that looks like an old diskette (next to the Start button). If you click that, a pop up will confirm that the settings have been saved.
I'm a fan of the new update; great work Alex!
We have a poker game every 6 weeks; the last 2 tournaments your clock has been used and it's been great!
A couple of suggestions on my wishlist :-)
Hi and thanks!
Love your suggestions, I'm putting them on my Trello board
I'll see what I can do with suggestion 1. I'd love suggestion 2 myself and it's actually something I'm planning to do together with a friend of mine. It's not such a small feature so it will take some time.
Suggestion 3 yes! Why didn't I think of that myself either. Putting it in today.
Feature 3 is in 1.4.2!
My group used this to run a tournament a couple of weeks ago. Overall opinion - great stuff! We'll definitely be making use of it again.
One issue with the Android client connected to a Windows instance though. The connection worked fine, and tournament management functions worked perfectly, but when a level ended the display on the phone did not update correctly to display the new level with timer countdown. The display was stuck with the old level up top, it's timer at zero, with the new level still shown below in the "preview next level" part of the screen.
It doesn't appear we have the ability to add new cards to the Trello board, so I'll post my new feature requests here:
Hi! Thank you for this great feedback! I'll add some Trello cards for this. Certainly your first feature request is one I could use too.
Concerning the Android issue: is it possible that the version on Android was a different version than the one on Windows? They should both be the same, at the time of writing this: 1.3.7. You can see the version in the lower left corner of the tournament selection screen.
I just fired up HPTM on both devices to check and they're both running 1.3.7. Whilst there, I started the tournament running again and connected to it, then used the timer slider to get the level to the last few seconds, and wouldn't you know it - everything behaved the way it should this time. Even tried locking the phone, and putting the app into the background during a level change, and it was all fine. If it happens again, I'll try to note anything special about the circumstances.
Doing that did remind me of another (very minor) issue - the upper left and right corners of the main tournament screen are being rendered outside of the view port, truncating the start of the title, and the end of the "Time to Break" and its timer when running.
Here's a screenshot from my Surface Pro 6, which is acting as the tournament server:
Yes, I noticed that too, small mistake on my part that I have fixed by now which will be included in the next release (soon to come)
I just released a big update, which fixes this issue too.
Excellent, thank you! I'm guessing there's a delay for the updated Android app to appear on the Google Play store?
Yes, unfortunately, it is in review at the moment.
Just downloaded and wanted to thank you for developing this. I love the clean interface.
Thanks!
Hi.
How can I use admin mode?
I hold touch the title of tourney, but doesn't appear anything.
Which screen that I should hold touch the title?
Thanks.
Nevermind, I found it.
their devices must use same local network.
I didn't know that.
Thanks for great tools.
Ok great! And thanks :)
Here's probably a stupid question but I cannot figure out how to update to the newest/newer version of this program on my computer. I'm sure it's located on the back end right and I just need some guidance? Or should I just delete and re download the newest version? Help! Thanks.
Hi, the installer should install the new version in exact the same place as the previous time, where did you install it?
And what version is the old one?
Still love your amazing app!!
I'm running 1.3.6 on android, but I'm not seeing the import/export buttons. Is it still pending for us mobile poker geeks?
Also, the percentage feature doesn't seem to be working. It always seems to keep 100% in the payout, even though I'm only paying out 90%. (I kind of oversimplified my reasons, but the result is there.)
Also, would live to use exact numbers and text instead of percentages as our charity prizes are gifts rather than cash (gift card, prize basket, hotel weekend, flat screen TV etc.).
Thanks again for your awesomeness!!!
Hi!
Indeed on Android the export/import is not implemented yet; it requires additional permissions for the app + it's unclear to me how a person would copy an export to another smartphone at this moment, how would you do that? Via google drive or something?
Concerning the percentage: do you mean that you want to pay out only 90%? I never considered that use case, indeed, the Prizes try to total up to 100%. But your request is valid, I'll look into that, should not be too much work.
The text in the prizes is on my todo-list.
Thanks for your input, that's really valuable and appreciated!
Hello!!
Transferring the file could be by Google drive, NFC, Bluetooth, or even email, though through email revolts a few Greeks (like myself!)
Google Drive would be my method as I can then share the file from one place to multiple devices, if necessary. I'm sharing your app, so structure sharing is a natural extension! :)
There are two reasons for paying less than 100%.
The first is when the buy-in has a portion of the donation (house fee). For example, @$125 buy-in could have $25 to the "house" and $100 to the prize pool. Thus, only 80% would be in the prize pool.
Ideally that percentage or value could be input in the event set-up so that the prize pool only reflects the prizes, and not what people paid in. It's how actual card rooms display prize pools. $100+$25 (prize pool plus house fee) as it were. Keeps a cleaner appearance that way.
The text option will be great, an ideal view for the players.
Also, and I'd be willing to donate the time creating the .wav files for it, would it be possible to have the level change be fully announced? (i.e. "Attention dealers and players, if you have not started the shuffle, blinds for the next hand are 100, 200 with a 25 ante." and "Dealers and players, we are now on a 15 minute break.") I'm not a coder, so there may be an easier way than piecing together voice clips.
When your adding text, comments would be great, too. Best example is "Coloring Up Green 25 chips", during breaks, and the like.
Finally (really), it would be great if it was possible to set all the level times, or a range of times, at once. Rarely do levels change times until much later in a longer tournament. Settings for All, All Below 'X', and clicking in anv individual level would be great.
Hope I haven't rambled too much, but I always get a bit excited when I talk about your application.
Thanks again!
Barry
Thanks for the detailed feedback!
I'll look into the export indeed. As for the payout one more question: if a separate house fee could be added, would you then always do a 100% payout of the prize pool? Because if you do a 80% overall payout (without house fee), there's also a 20% cut from the rebuys and the addons, I'm not sure if that is desired. Or in other words: do the rebuys and the addons also have a house fee?
Piecing together these audioclips is not something I'm going to implement, there's too many ways these levels could be announced plus I'd have to do it in 4 languages (maybe more in the future). What I could do however is use Google's Text-To-Speech for this. A user could type the announcements he wants after every level and the TTS does the rest. Nonetheless, this is not a small feature so it will take a while before I would have the time to start on this :)
Comments during the break, check (this could simply be displayed as text, no real need for audio). This will take careful consideration qua layout though.
Easier multi editing in level settings, check. Text in the prize structure, check.
I put all these suggestions on my Trello board, thanks!
Sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I really do appreciate all the effort you've put in since I last did.
The text to speech is nothing less than incredible!
As far being able to edit the blind structure en masse, if I could "column edit" the time of the blind level (similar to a spreadsheet), that would be awesome.
Even better if I could column edit from a certain point. Such as, I might need to have the first 10 levels be 15 minutes, the next 10 levels be 20 minutes, and the next 10 levels be 30 minutes.
Also, can we import/export in Android yet?
Last of all, and I know you've disliked the idea on the past, could you make it so we can edit the time and blind structure while running?
As always, the app is terrific and I really appreciate all the work you're putting in. I've updated my Google Play review to reflect my increased level of admiration.
Do you have something set up for donations?
Hi and thanks again! I ran a tournament yesterday and I must say I like the TTS feature myself too :) People really respond well to that. I'll be working on that some more since I received some good suggestions.
I guess with column edit you mean you can drag the cell value down as in Excel, right? That would indeed be neat. The spreadsheet feature is a 3rd party tool I use, but I'll see if I can add that.
Import/Export android is not in yet, I moved it up my priority list. I've added a "Edit schedule while running" task, but it's one that is going to take lots of testing.
Thanks for the rating, that's actually the best way to help me! If you want to donate that's possible via itch.io, just download the game here and enter a donation amount.
Thanks again for your feedback, that's really valuable for me and well appreciated!
Alex
Guys! Thank you so much for this! You did what I wanted to do like 10 years ago. I still use a 20 year old computer whose fan sounds like a dying mouse to play that old software program, because it's the best tournament software around, with the "add money" and save different tournament features. Even better than current casino software in my opinion!
I just donated, but I'd love to speak with you about some little improvements that could be made to it and share the great stories I have with running the program for literally the last 20 years. Now, I can finally use my computer from this century to play it.
Couple suggestions:
Thank you so much!
Eric Prag
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your kind words, really appreciate it, this is exactly why I made this program!
Happy to discuss improvements with you since you have such a long-lasting experience, reach out to me via e-mail (alex.vandenabeele[at]gmail.com) and maybe we can find a moment to chat.
The sounds can indeed be customized, but I have to admit it's not very well documented, you can find out how in this devlog.
Thanks!
Alex
Great update!
Will it be available on android?
Yes, it's currently "in review", but I expect it soon to be approved.
You are *awesome*!
New suggestion... Since I run charity tournaments, the prizes are sometimes items (tv, ipod, hotel stay, vacation, cruise, etc.) rather than only numbers for cash; plus color-up and break descriptions in the timer area.
It would be great it was possible to put text into those areas.
Thanks again for everything!
It's been approved
Hello, I find the application really good, but how can I synchronize a computer screen with your mobile phone once the application is installed on both?
Hi. You start a tournament on one of both (I suggest the computer) and then on the other device you click this icon in the start screen:
You will then see the other tournament, if the two devices are on the same local network (same wifi for example).
I'm currently working on an update that will let you control the tournament on the computer with the mobile, I expect to finish it this month.
Hey thanks for creating this program! How do I edit the sounds? Is there a way to manually type in how players are there to start a tournament instead of clicking it manually all the way up? Thanks! The old pokerroom.com home game organizer just stopped working on all my computers recently so really grateful you made this program.
Hi! You're most welcome :)
In the data folder (hptm_Data) you can place a "nextlevel.wav" and a "nextlevelwarning.wav". If present, those will be used instead of the built-ins.
Good suggestion for manually entering the entries, I'll add that in a future update.
I've just recently downloaded the android version of HPTM and I think it's the best poker tournament timer I've used. Is there an equivalent location to put custom sound files in for the android version as well? I've tried a couple of things under Android\data\be.avadev.hptm but haven't hit the right location (if it's available). Thanks for the great program!
Thanks for your kind words, appreciated!
In the current version (v1.2.11) the Android app won't load custom sound files, I'll check if I can add it in the next release, if its possible (it requires some extra rights on the device I think).
Happy to announce that with version 1.3.7, you can now change the sounds on Android too!
Starting from 1.3.3 there is now a field in the tournament edit panel to enter the number of entries
Hey Ava, Love the program and just downloaded it and will be using it tonight. I posted a couple times elsewhere about how much I love this program as I have been looking for 10 years for a way to play the old PokerRoom software on a newer computer than the 20 year old computer I still use when I use that software. Thank you! I wanted to reach out to chat with you about this, comments and praise mostly! Hopefully I can hear from you. Eric Prag
AWESOME that you allow phones, and the larger buttons in portrait mode make it SO much easier on a tablet.
There seems to be a glitch on the configuration page, though, when I stop the game. The button that usually goes back and forth between blinds and setup doesn't do anything. I have to back out to the start (of app) screen, then go back in to be able to adjust anything. It looks like the two setup screens are are overlayed.
Also, a feature that would be great, would be to allow editing of the prize pool while the game is running. I add a prize for additional players (every 10th); adjusting the payouts with the game running would keep the game on attached clocks, and keep me from rushing, and making mistakes, during breaks.
My charity players are going to love this!!!
Ok, good suggestion, the bug you found is fixed in 1.2.9, I'm uploading the update to Android now.
Thanks!
1.2.10 now allows you to add extra cash and change the payout structure while the tournament is running.
Hello unfortunately I am not using twitter, skype isnt working for you? Or we can use gmail chat if you give me your gmail. What about saturday afternoon? Somewhere between 12 - 17 00 CET? Thank you
Yes, skype works, but I don't want to give my skype id here publicly on itch.io, so I prefer to continue this conversation via a more private channel. You can reach me at alex.vandenabeele[at]gmail.com
Hello,
Thank you for your superfast answer and sorry for my late response, here in east we have slower internet :D ( joke). I will try to answer ASAP now.
You have a lot of good points about app. I am not sure if you understand me in each point. Please can we schedule quick call / chat on skype? We can solve everything within few minutes and I will prepare graphics for quick better understanding . I am the same fan as you into poker and I think this ideas could be interesting for everyone. Thank you very much
Ok, send me a DM via twitter.
Hello thank you for pokerwatch, I appreciate it so much.
About future improvements I have few suggestion which will be helpful for me :
1.add sound when someone is outkicked out of tournament
2. We have prizepool points + cash reward, in this case we will appreciate adding 2 numbers into the prize pool (cash and points).
3. add option to choose currency (included option to let i blank, without any currency just number)
4.As I mentioned in point 2, we are playing yearly league, and players are earning points for each tournament, it will be very nice if we can see somewhere top5-10 players (I will add name and points manually before each tournament starts)
I don't know how much you are busy, but if you can do this changes for me , I can send you some money reward or if you are busy and not interested in it, Can you share source codes with me? Thank you very much!!
Hi,
I'm afraid you are mistaking this for another app, this is the Home Poker Tournament Manager (HPTM), not Poker Watch.
The first one I could do, but would that be a cheering sound or rather a mocking one? Or is it meant to inform all the tables that someone left?
The HPTM does not display currency because that is irrelevant, you'll most likely be using whatever currency your country uses during your home game, so no need to display that.
The HPTM currently does not keep track of who is participating in the game. That might indeed be an interesting addition, however it's a lot of work and hard to scale for all possible sizes of home games.
The question is also: how could we display all this information in a meaningful way on the screen? Would there be a list with participants on the screen with their points? That would clutter the current screen too much in my opinion.
Can I use it on a tablet?
Yes, there is an Android version.
When I download the latest version,I am getting a virus warning from my AV. WS.Reputation.1 is threat I am seeing.
Can you post a clean version?
No need to worry, "WS.Reputation.1" is just a warning from Norton that they haven't seen a specific file before. This makes sense, as I just released a new update. As soon as more Norton AV users will download the HPTM, this warning will go away by itself.
https://community.norton.com/en/forums/clarification-wsreputation1-detection
I would like to try this out on my computer but when i DL it and run the install i get an error message that says it cant be run on my system. any help that you could give would be great. here is a copy of the error that i'm getting.
the version of this file is not compatible with the verison of windows youre running...
it tells me to check 32 bit or 64 bit....
i'm running windows 7 64 bit..
thanks for your help.
That is weird, it should work. Can you send me a dxdiag?
here u go... let me know if u need anything else.

Looks like you're running 32bit...
Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1
I'm sorry, but 32bit is not supported.
We currently use Blinds Are Up for our weekly home games which seems pretty similar to your offering here. But, we have been searching high and low for an app that combines both the tournament management with a method of tracking buys-ins, add-ons, as well as finishing position and cash earnings. We basically want to establish a points system that ranks players and tracks a "championship" standings along with general $$$ metrics of total cash won / lost, etc. Any plans to add something like this down the road?
I have thought about that, since I'd want that for my own tournaments too.
You're looking for data over multiple tournaments, right? It's a good idea for sure, but I'm afraid I won't have the time to implement this in the near future. I'm currently working on making the manager available on Android too, I'll finish that first and then I might consider this.
Good job!
Can I ask you for network protocol between client and server?
I'm an AI enthusiast and I try to build some interest bot that don't need any rules of game, but can learn it just by playing. NL Holdem is very good virtual reality to test my algorithm of live evolution. So I'm looking for server of poker room where it can be play.
Is it possible to use your server to create tournaments for bots and then they playing a lot games. But I don't want to create any computer vision to make table information understudable for bots, only text messages.
Thanks
I don't think I can be of any help, the manager is for live poker events, not online.
And me again! A suggestion, any chance there could be a winnings structure that changes depending on how much is in the pot? I sometimes change the proportions if the pot gets bigger, e.g. changing from a 1/2 payout to 1/2/3 with 3 getting their initial stake back. Is that something that others do?! Could it be factored in?
You can always pause the game, change the payout settings and then resume again. But I don't think players would like to see this changed during the game though. The players that are behind, sure, but the ones on top will feel cheated.
I was thinking this same thing.
I run charity tournaments, and I add a paying position for every additional 10th player, (past 30); as this happens quite often, I'd like to be able to expand the payouts without stopping the clock, or rushing during a break.
Also, in busy tournaments, it would be handy to have more than one admin system; allowing more "cashiers" to check people in.
Additional admins would also allow for supervisors to remove players and handle re-buys (as opposed to re-entries) and add-ons at the tables.
Some one else's suggestion of a pin for additional admin's seemed a good idea.
Thanks for a what seems a great app, I'm anxious to test it!
Aces Up!
Barry C
Thanks for this feedback, that's really appreciated!
I'll have to think about this; I like the suggestion of having a payout scheme in function of the number of participants... but which scheme or with what options is something I will need to think through, I can imagine lots of variants.
Additional admins is also a good idea, but only with the controls on the timer view and not the setup of the tournament, that is certainly something I can look into.
Thanks!
I'm looking forward to seeing the next update, these changes would make things amazing!
And impress my players and staff to no end! 😊
1.3.0 now has an admin mode.
Hello again - I'm having problems with the HPTP app on android. It connects to the running tournament, but then disconnects and returns to the tournament lobby after a few seconds. Can't seem to get it to stay connected. The game is still there in the lobby list and i can rejoin it, but again get kicked out after a few seconds. Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions? Thanks!
That's a though one :) Can you check what the game log says? You can find it in %AppData%\..\LocalLow\AvaDev\HPTM on your computer. Getting the log from your android device is more difficult.
Ha, I was just browsing through the messages here. The new Android version of HPTM has this fixed, I did find your bug and could fix it.
Lovely program / app. Any chance the app could be used to add rebuys / players? Means I could "manage" the game from my phone without having to keep going back to the laptop!
I thought about that as well. Main thing is you don't want anyone else to change those things so how can I ensure that? I want a simple user friendly workflow, if that's possible somehow I can add it.
Could just have an admin pin (4 digit) that if entered unhid the entry buttons on client device? Pin could be set when setting up the game
Or you could just do whoever is the first to connect gets the buttons. Most likely that'd be the game admin. So it checks how many connected, if none then assign as admin and show the toggles. If one or more then don't show them. Perhaps?
It took me while, but Admin mode is now available in 1.3.0!
Simple tool. I like it. I do wish that I could customize the background color to match my room color on big screen TV. Also, being a novice tournament host, I was looking for a tool that would take the number of players, chips available, average duration desired and calculate starting chip stacks and recommend the proper blind structure. Many tools do this but I can't seem to find one that's intuitive and simple.
Hi, thanks! Good suggestion about the color, that is indeed something for an update.
Concerning the tool about blinds calculation, I might add that one day, but it's not something easy. People have many different requirements and its hard to put that all in one tool. I use the blind structure calculator from pokersoup.com, it always predicted the duration of the tournament quite accurate.
Any plans of making the source code available? I really like what you've done. I'm a software developer and the only thing I would like to change is my group of friends and I don't play with antes so rather than having the blind/ante box, I'd change it to Small Blind/Big Blind in that box. This way the blinds could be bigger/more visible.
I'd rather not open source it, but I'm definitely open for requests/feedback. In my group we also never use ante's, so your request makes a lot of sense. I'll build an update where the ante is not shown if it is 0, displaying the blinds instead.
I'm also working on an app for Android where players can follow the tournament on their phones, this is now in testing so I'll probably release this change with that update.
Thanks for the input!
Version 1.1.3 has the option (per tournament) to hide the Ante's. Have fun!
any way to change the sounds?
Not now, but that's a good idea! The same could be done for the background images. I'll look into that, thanks!
Aand done, v1.0.2 supports custom sounds, check the devlog for instructions.
wow. thx for the amazingly fast action :)
