Printable poker blind structure sheets
You've set the start time and counted out the chips, and then someone asks what the blinds go up to and the night stalls while you improvise a ladder on a napkin. A printed structure sheet settles it before cards are dealt. Put it in the middle of the table and every player can see the full ladder, how long each level runs, and exactly when the break lands.
This free PDF gives you 4 ready-to-run structures, one per A4 page. A turbo for roughly 1.5 to 2 hours (10 levels of 8 minutes on 5,000 stacks), a standard 2-hour weeknight structure (12 levels of 10 minutes on 5,000 stacks), a standard 3-hour structure (15 levels of 12 minutes on 10,000 stacks), and a deep stack structure for the long nights (18 levels of 15 minutes on 20,000 stacks). Each sheet shows every small and big blind, the level length, the starting stack, and the break marked in the row where it falls.
The ladders are the same ones behind our structure guides: no jump ever more than doubles the blinds, so the pace comes from the level clock rather than from savage jumps. Pick the sheet that matches your time window, print it, and the structure argument is over.
The sheets are black on white and designed to be ink-friendly. And when you'd rather the levels changed themselves, the PokerPall app runs these exact structures with a live timer, rebuy tracking, and a settlement card at the end of the night.
Common questions
Which blind structure should I print for my home game?
Match the sheet to your time window. The turbo finishes in about 1.5 to 2 hours, the standard sheets in 2 or 3 hours, and the deep stack structure runs 4 hours or more. If you're unsure, the 2-hour standard is the safest weeknight default.
Do the sheets include breaks?
Yes. Each sheet marks the break directly in the ladder after the level where it falls - one break on the turbo and 2-hour sheets, two on the 3-hour and deep stack sheets. The break is also the natural moment to close rebuys.
Do I still need a blind timer if I print the structure?
The sheet tells everyone what the levels are, but something still has to enforce when they change. A phone timer works; the PokerPall app runs these exact structures automatically and shows the current blinds to the whole table.
Can I change the levels or make my own structure?
These 4 ladders cover most home games as printed. If you want to build your own, our blind structure calculator method guide walks through the maths, and the same rules apply: never more than double between levels, and set the pace with level length.
