The huge popularity of Texas Hold ‘Em has made home poker games more popular than ever. Unfortunately most people don’t have room for a regular poker table in their home. The answer to this problem is a folding poker table.
Today’s folding poker tables are a far cry from that flimsy card table the kids used to eat off at Thanksgiving. They look just like the tables seen at casinos and on the popular TV poker shows.
Like the tables the poker pros play off these tables have green felt tops, an oval shape, built in chip cups and drink holders. Some of the folding tables available today are actually designed for Texas Hold Em which is the most popular poker game today.
A big advantage to using a fold up poker table is that it can seat several people. Most folding card tables can only fit four people. That’s not big enough to accommodate a good sized poker game.
The big advantage to these tables is that can be stored away when not in use. This means that a special poker table won’t take up a lot of room in a house. Many of the new folding poker tables actually fold in half and have casters so they can easily be rolled away into a closet for easy storage.
A folding poker table would be ideal for an apartment dweller who hosts a weekly poker game. Such a table could turn the bachelor pad or the loft into the gang’s poker room.
Another way to save space is with poker table tops these are specially designed tops that fit over another table. This can turn any table including a kitchen table into a poker table. Poker table tops take up less space and they generally cost less than a folding poker table.
A folding poker table will generally cost a little more than a standard folding card table. An eight player table will run around $250. This costs a little more but it is certainly cheaper than going to a casino or card room to play poker.
