About the Australian Poker Schedule
Launched in early 2022, the Australian Poker Schedules was created by Australian poker player and industry advocate Craig Abernethy. The website aims to collate thousands of poker events from all over Australia in one place as well as news, unique data and tools that add value to players and operators all over our country.
With an explosion of poker tours, leagues and casino poker rooms across the country, we are now spoilt for choice of poker events in different formats, price points and structures. Unfortunately due to regulations in some states poker is very limited, however Australian Poker Schedule actively works with stakeholders including government, regulators, operators, casinos, dealers, staff and players to benefit the entire Australian community.
APS is a user friendly website for players to easily find out what is happening on the Australian poker scene. We provide series schedules from individual poker websites and social media pages and list them on our site for planning your year and best of all, it’s completely free! We also have a structure calculator that can be used to compare similar buy-in events, to see how the structure rates, in terms of speed and value.
More details about the structure calculator and rating system can be found under the FAQ page, but it in simple terms it compares tournament structures, rake, administration costs, and anything else that comes out of a single tournament prize pool.
“This is exactly what the Australian Poker community needs. The calender is comprehensive and well put together. Highly recommend!”

Interview with Jon Stark 'Poker Shark'
One of the characters of South Australian poker is player, blogger, and author Jon Stark ‘Poker Shark’.
I bumped into Jon at the poker table (where else?) at The Star Casino, Gold Coast, when he was up here visiting family. Hearing of my $100K “Binky Bill” a week or so earlier, plus the new website, we had a friendly chin-wag in an interview for his Facebook blog. 31st March 2022
Jon has also published a book, ‘Poker World’ which was 60 years in the making!
326 pages. 46 chapters. 30 pages of full colour photos featuring 200+ local, interstate and international players.
