    What you'll learn

    The complete walkthrough follows a home poker night in order. Use it before hosting your first game, or return to the part you need while preparing the table. Only the host needs the app to record the game; players can be added by name.

    1. Set up the game. Create your game and add the players at your table. Check the names before recording money so each player's entries stay attached to the right person.
    2. Record buy-ins and rebuys. Log the starting buy-ins, then add rebuys as the night continues. Keeping these entries current gives you a record to check against the money collected at the table.
    3. Count the final chips. Enter each player's final chip count when play ends. Compare the totals with the recorded money in play and recheck any difference before finishing the game.
    4. Review who owes whom. See the suggested payments after the final counts are entered. HG Poker records the results; your group makes the actual payments outside the app using its usual method.
    5. Share the results. Finish the game and share its summary so players can review the night's outcome. Saved results keep the record available after everyone has left the table.

    Pause the video whenever you want to follow along on your own phone. For a written explanation of closing a cash game, read the home poker settle-up guide.
