FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. How much does a poker table cost?

A. There is a wide range of costs for poker tables. Players can expect to find prices in these ranges:

• $30 - $50 – for a simple, no-frills table top with just the felt cloth. These can work in a pinch and are easy to store. The price is right for those who don’t have a lot to spend.
• $160 – $200 – for a lower-end but functional oval, circular, or octagonal tables. Some of these can also be folded in half. These are nice tables for the budget conscious.
• $250 – $350 – for a more solidly built table with amenities like LED lighting, stainless steel cup holders, and more. These are solid tables for the player who regularly hosts games.

Q. Where can I buy a poker table?

A. Finding a poker table has never been easier There are numerous major-name online retailers selling poker tables. Other options include high-end furniture sales companies and online gaming accessory companies. Do a little research based on the type of table you’re seeking to see what works best for you.

Q. What are some size and shape considerations?

A. Players will usually find tables in three traditional shapes:

• Oval – These are like the traditional tables a player might find in a casino.
• Circular – These round tables allow six to eight players at the table. They can be in budget friendly varieties but also more appealing wooden variety for a game room.
• Octagonal – Similar to a circular table, but the straight edges around the table offer more defined player positions.

When it comes to shape, oval tables come with a few sizes. Some are built for nice players and some for 10. Lengths generally vary from 72-104 inches and is another feature that can affect cost. If your games are generally five or six players, a small table might be okay. If you’re getting eight to 10 players, the larger size would be a much better option.

Q. What are some things to remember when considering the felt?

1. Make sure the cloth is durable and can stand up to plenty of use.
2. The cards and chips will slide around on the felt easily.
3. Colors and styles vary, find one that suits you and will fit with your poker room.

Q. Can I build my own poker table?

A. That all depends on how handy you are with a saw and hammer. It can certainly be done and there are numerous examples and blueprints online. Just know what you’re getting into a budget for materials accordingly. Don’t pick a table that might be too much for your carpentry skill level.

However, a custom-built table can make for some fun if you enjoy working with your hands, and some pride in workmanship after the project is complete.

Whatever table a player chooses, it’s essential to consider some of the above when making that final choice. Now call some friends and get out the chips and cards – it’s poker time.

Poker Table Tops

Whether you’re a poor college kid, have a small budget, or limited on space, there’s another option when it comes to hosting your poker game. While a dining room table may not be ideal for battling it out with friends, a felt table top can make it a much better experience.

Felt table tops feature numerous options and colors. Some come in traditional oval shaped while others may be circular or octagon shaped. Amenities vary but some even feature a padded rail, cup holders, or slots for chips at each seat.

A no-frills circular table top felt can be had for around $30 while a fancier setup can still be had for under $100. Table tops run the gamut from a simple felt to a sturdier board-style topper that can fold up and be put in a carrying case.

If you want to budget more money for the poker game itself rather than the poker table, this might be the way to go.

Hurt

I was speechless - furious with Cherry, and with myself for being so naive.

I was so hurt - hurt that she had done it, hurt by the way I found out and hurt that she had gone over to France behind my back.

With hindsight I knew that ours was a dancing marriage, one that lacked that spark of real love, but that didn't stop me being angry.

Our house was about a mile from Cherry's mum's bungalow.

Over the next two days I took everything of Cherry's that I could possibly think of - all of her clothes, jewellery, records, a nest of tables her mother had given her, and laid everything out neatly on her mother's front lawn.

I then had the locks changed on our house and put a note through Joy's front door. It just said: 'Don't come back, I know everything.'

Then I packed a suitcase of my own, got in my car and went off to the Lake District for two weeks to a rather lovely hotel on Lake Windermere.

When I got back, there was a letter from a solicitor saying Cherry was starting divorce proceedings.

What upset me most was that she left me for a multi-millionaire, but she asked for our savings.

Of course, she was entitled to her share, but all I could think about was how it would wipe me out for quite a while.

About three years later, I was walking through Bexley Heath when I bumped into Cherry for the first time since she went off to Paris. We went for a coffee.

I had no anger left, in fact it was lovely to see her. She was really happy, with two kids. After we'd talked for a while I just blurted it out.

'The one thing that really got to me was the fact that you cleaned me out when you went off with your multi-millionaire French bloke,' I told her.

Three days later a cheque arrived from Cherry with an apology. I was so glad, not for the money, which was nice, but because it put a full stop on that chapter of my life.

Luckily, I wasn't lonely for long.

One of my regular hangouts became a pub called The Fox And Hounds, just outside Dartford.

I would often pop down there after work, and one evening I went in and met a very attractive girl whose name was Lesley, from the Isle of Wight.

Expect goals at the Etihad

One thing City almost always guarantee is excitement and goals look a certainty on Wednesday.

The Citizens have already scored 20 times this season in six Premier League matches, and they transferred that form into Europe with last Tuesday’s 4-0 win away at Sevilla.

Dortmund also never shut up shop and beat Copenhagen 3-0 last week, before being brought back down to earth with a bump on Saturday as they lost by the same scoreline to RB Leipzig.

The German side may not be the force they were in previous years but remain dangerous on the break and could grab a goal.

Even so, City look superior and having scored 14 times in their three home Premier League matches so far this season, they could cut loose again.

Tip: Manchester City to win and over 3.5 goals @ 21/20 with Betfred

Past and Present

Gambling was not always the civilized and socially accepted form of entertainment it is today. Before live dealer online casinos became a thing, most gambling was done at felt-covered tables in brick-and-mortar gaming establishments, and later through the internet, against sophisticated random number generators. The latter became a go-to form of gambling for millions of players all over the world - for them, casino games have become a form of casual entertainment. But life behind the felt-covered table was not as glamorous as some might think. Once you go behind the scenes with a croupier or a dealer, you will likely hear stories about violent or disorderly patrons blaming the dealers for their bad luck or others that had too much to drink and started to misbehave.

Brick-and-mortar gambling establishments are still pretty much the only places where you can legally gamble in the United States and many other countries. In Europe, in turn, online gambling is the norm, along with its many innovative approaches and game types.
