Lesson 01
Make the welcome easy
Agree on adult attendance, comfort needs and a finish time. Keep video optional and share the room link privately.
Host academy
The best host makes room.
Four short lessons for welcoming friends, setting up calls and keeping a relaxed free-play night moving.
0 of 4 lessons complete on this device. Progress is self-paced, not a qualification.
Lesson 02
Start with a setup check
Use River’s audio/video setup before the first deal. If playback is blocked, tap its resume control. Pause to help a guest reconnect.
Lesson 03
Teach between hands
Rehearse checks, calls and raises in practice. Explain a completed showdown without sharing another player’s hidden cards.
Lesson 04
End with the next hello
Take breaks, respect opt-outs and finish on time. Ask permission before saving a memory or introducing two players.
Put a real night together.
These downloadable kits are invitation and planning templates. To apply an actual club plan, open that club’s existing night-program controls in River. Downloads do not create a room, change settings or message anyone.
