CBass1724 1 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Ok, so I want to start having some cash games at my house with my buddies but I do not currently own a poker table. I want to spend a few hundred dollars on a decent table but don't want to break the bank for one. When any of us run a game at one another's house, we don't take a rake or anything like that so recouping the money that way is not in the equation.I guess I'd be willing to spend up to $500 for a table that seats 8-10 players. I think I am leaning towards the octagon style tables that seat 8 but would get the oval table that seat 10. I am open to suggestions, but prefer a table that has legs that fold or collapses on some way.What do you guys have at your house whom hold games? Any pics would be helpful or links to websites that you recommend.Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

This one is probably not the one you want.... it is kind of a pain to deal from the ends, but it is a good value for the price. Link to post Share on other sites

No_Neck 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 yeah I was able to get local pickup and I got it for about $350. It is not the nicest table ever, but we have logged 200 hours on it and we haven't had any issues yet. Link to post Share on other sites

Did you get the green or burgundy felt? I think I'd lean towards the burgundy myself, but don't care too much. Link to post Share on other sites

seanthecon 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 prob not exactly what your looking for but u could buy 1 or 2 of these so if the game gets really huge, or you want to do some mini tournies and such.http://www.amazon.com/Folding-Texas-Holdem...4174&sr=8-4 Link to post Share on other sites
TurboDog 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 If you have some basic wood working skills you can always just make your own. The plans are all over the net.http://www.homepokertourney.com/tables_build.htmYou can buy the felt and foam from http://www.pokersuppliesltd.com/ then all you need is a couple sheets of decent plywood and your all set.One of the tables I built.

CBass1724 1 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 That looks nice. I am not crafty with my wood working skillz and am too lazy to build one. Link to post Share on other sites
gfdsa146 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Is it cheaper to build your own? How much does it cost if you buy all the materials yourself Link to post Share on other sites
TurboDog 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Is it cheaper to build your own? How much does it cost if you buy all the materials yourselfIt's about 250$ unless you go crazy with the upgrades. Add nickel plated cup holders, a toke box, and a built in chip tray for the dealer and you can easily spend 500$. Of course you have a kick *** casino grade table when you are done.

Just worried about the leg room...does the stand for it get in the way on the ends? Link to post Share on other sites
theresa113 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I have a friend who bought one with the collapsible legs. It was very sturdy and best of all transportable. However, my favorite was a table that some friends built. They matched their table to their living room decor. Very, very beautiful but you would have to have some serious skills to do something like they did. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 8 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Go with a 60" circular table, with no permanent dealer you cannot deal from the ends. At 60" you can squeeze 10 and fit 8 niceley. Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the table folds up for storage. Link to post Share on other sites
