Comparison

PokerLeagueOS vs Blind Valet

Blind Valet is a good blind timer and it asks nothing of you: open it and it counts down. That is also the whole of it. PokerLeagueOS runs the timer and then keeps the roster, the money and the season.

Blind Valet is the right answer when

  • You want a countdown and nothing else.
  • You do not want to make an account.
  • Nothing about tonight needs to survive until next month.

PokerLeagueOS is the right answer when

  • The same group plays on a schedule.
  • Somebody is keeping standings in a spreadsheet.
  • Your players want their seat and the clock on their own phone.
  • You would rather play than run the clock, and want an assistant to do it.
