TIPS TO PONDER BEFORE BUYING A POKER TABLEWritten by Oddvar Pettersen
Continued from page 1
A very important factor to consider when buying a poker table is to decide if you want cup holders or not. Some feel that there will be more problems with players spilling drinks when they can place their drinks in cup holders on table. Many poker table owners use three Cs rule during poker games. Cash, chips and cards only. No food or drinks allowed on table. Others believe cup holders will reduce number of spills on to table, because if player’s drinks are not in a cup holder, than they probably will be on table felt. If you decide to go with cup holders, than you should by a table with cup holders that are 2 3/4” in diameter and 3” deep. These measurements are perfect for both beer bottles and cans. Any deeper and players will have a hard time getting cans out.(Especially after having consumed a few beers). Getting a table with cup holders underneath table or in armrest of chairs is also an option. TRUE POKER GUIDE
