Poker Academy Online - Customizing the Transcript Field

Poker Academy Online allows you to customize the chat and transcript field by right clicking and selecting the options you want.

If you do not want any player chat to break up the action logging, you can easily disable it. You are also able to remove Hand Actions, Hand Summary and Hand Events. This can leave you with a cleaner more concise log of what was going on at the table.

Of course, you can also use it to ignore everyones chat at the table to!

Poker Academy Pro - Tournament Clock

Poker Academy Pro comes with a nice feature for home games called the Tournament Clock. It takes the task of showing the blind structure, payout structure as well as current level blinds and remaining time.

With support for rebuys and addons it takes the guess work out of payouts. Which is always a a problem at my home game.

You can load your own structure or choose one of the presets.
