Poker Hawk Academy
Guided path

Run a Bar or Charity Tournament

For a bigger, public event — house fees and rake, a top-heavy prize pool, and TVs around the room.

9 lessons
  1. 1
    Create a tournament
    Name it, set the date and capacity, and choose your registration rules.
  2. 2
    Understanding tournament rake
    Percentage vs. flat fees, and how they affect the prize pool.
  3. 3
    Buy-ins, fees & the prize pool
    Set what players pay, add an optional house fee, and watch the live prize pool update.
  4. 4
    Set the late-registration window
    Let stragglers enter after the start — and decide exactly when it closes.
  5. 5
    Payout formulas — standard, top-heavy, flat, and custom
    What each preset does to your prize distribution, plus a quick ICM primer.
  6. 6
    Set the payouts
    Choose how the prize pool splits — a preset shape or custom per-place amounts.
  7. 7
    Pair a Fire TV or Android TV display
    Put the HUD on the big screen with the Poker Hawk TV app and a short pairing code.
  8. 8
    Manage multiple displays
    Run several screens at once and control what each one shows — the HUD, the full room, or one table.
  9. 9
    Run the tournament clock
    Start the clock, let blinds advance automatically, and pause or adjust as needed.
Follow this path inside the app, with your own tournament.
