Some daily GTD tournaments are played like the 100kGTD, buy-in 700+70 with rebuys, which barely reach the GTD prize.

Software and trackers support

Poker Saint uses its own software which runs under the Adobe Air platform. The Poker Saint client is available for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and web browser.

The lobby is similar to other poker platforms, and it has three main sections: Cash Games, Sit N Go, and Tournaments. You can also find useful ​​​filters to find tables easily. In the Cash Games lobby, the user will be able to filter by the game (Hold'em, Omaha).

From the lobby, players seated at the tables can be seen, and the action can be watched via observer mode. Multi-tabling is pretty easy as the tables can be easily arranged with one button. On settings, the bet sliders can be modified according to the user needs.

When the players sit at the table, they can click on the information button (similar to a warning sign) and get access to additional information like the rake percentage and CAP. A hand replayer is also available in the lobby

Additional features as a straddle, auto-muck, auto post blinds or auto-rebuy can be set at the tables. Several table themes and cards can be chosen, including 4-color deck. Users can also choose among different colorful avatars.

Players can take notes of the opponents, but no tracking software is available for Poker Saint.
