Pay Ladder

You made the money. Now see exactly where you stand, how far the next pay jump is, and how much pressure every rung puts on your decisions.

How to use it

  1. Pick a preset or enter your tournament: buy-in, entries, rake and places paid. Paste the real payout list if you have it.
  2. Enter players left, your stack, the average stack and the big blind.
  3. Each time someone busts, tap A player busts. The ladder, next jump and pressure update instantly.

Big jumps (30%+ over the rung below) are flagged. When the next jump is big and close, short stacks tighten up, so covering stacks can open and shove wider, and medium stacks should avoid marginal all-ins against them. Practise these spots in the tournament simulator and the ICM drills in the trainer.
