I created this timer (using Macromedia Director) for use in my own games due to frustration with the existing poker timers out there. The more it has been used, the more features my friends have asked to be added with each update.
It is designed for use in
Texas Hold 'Em tournament games, but should work for most tournament poker variants.
It was never meant as a commercial project, but I thought I would share it with other players out there.
If you have suggestions for improvement or new features, questions, feedback, abuse etc. please contact me at: travispokertimer@gmail.com
