FROM THE FIRST BUY-IN TO THE LAST GOODBYE

The host
plays, too.

Keep the admin off your mind.
And your attention on the table.

  1. 01

    Put the night on the books.

    Name your game, choose a currency, and add the players. Record each buy-in and whether the money has been collected.

    One game. One shared understanding.
  2. 02

    Another buy-in? Already noted.

    Add rebuys as they happen. Cash and Cash App, paid or still owing — keep the actual payments separate from the chips.

    The little details make the difference later.
  3. 03

    Count up. Settle up.

    Enter everyone’s final chip value. When the totals match, see what the banker needs to collect or pay. Confirm each payment yourself.

    Copy the results. Back up the night. Done.

A GOOD NIGHT DESERVES A CLEAN FINISH

Every chip.
Every dollar.
Accounted for.

A player’s profit isn’t always what they’re still owed. Your ledger tracks both, including money already collected or paid out.

Even a one-cent difference stays visible. Balance the chips before you finalize, then work through the remaining payments with a clear list.

BEFORE YOU DEAL

A few
good questions.

Do players need an account?

No. The host keeps the ledger on one device. Players don’t need to sign up or download anything. Copy the final results when you’re ready to share them.

Does Host A Poker send money?

No. It records amounts and works out the remaining payments. Settle through your usual payment method, then manually mark each payment as settled. The ledger doesn’t verify payments with a bank or payment app.

Where are my games saved?

In the browser and device you use to host. They don’t automatically sync between devices or domains. Export a JSON backup after a game, especially before clearing browser data or changing devices. Private browsing can remove your games when the window closes.

Can I bring my EveryHand history?

Yes. Open EveryHand in the same browser you used for those games, export a JSON backup, then import it into your Host A Poker ledger. Your original records remain on EveryHand.

What if the chip totals don’t match?

You’ll see the exact difference. Check buy-ins, rebuys, and final chip values before finalizing. Zero is a valid cash-out for a player who has no chips left; a blank value still needs to be entered.

YOUR TABLE. YOUR PEOPLE.

Make a night of it.
