102 x 45 in table for 10 handed play (1 Viewer)

[beatsme]

Hey guys! I'm about to pull the trigger on a 102in x 45in table. We have a weekly game and always have 10 players with a full-time dealer. We currently are squeezed in at a 96x45 incher and it is tight. Just wondering if there is anybody out there that has a table with these dimensions. Just wanting to make sure it's gonna be roomy enough before i pull the trigger. Thanks!

I asked an expert; she said 6" makes all the difference

I don't think you're going to find too many people with a table over 96". I think you would be the best judge of whether 6" more would be good for you guys. When you say 10 players with a dedicated dealer, do you mean 10 including the dealer who is playing, or 10 plus the dealer? Personally, I would go 96" x 48" before I went longer. At over 100 inches we're looking at Vladimir Putin table dimensions! Also, it has to start getting difficult for people at the ends of the table to start seeing the cards, or bets at the far end of the table. But, hey, it's sure is nice to have more elbow room.

Also, when you say pull the trigger on the 102" x 45", is it a pre-built table, or is it one you are making? Good luck.

I have 96 and really regret not going bigger as well…10 + dealer is too many. 9 is just right but I want to have room for 10 + 1 dealer.

My table is 100x48. 9 plus a dealer fit ok (a little tight with my chairs), 10 plus a dealer would not really be doable if you have big chairs like mine. Also, 45 wide is too narrow. If 10 players plus a dealer is common, I would probably go up to 107 x48. If u go that big the dealer station will need to bow inward so the dealer can reach all parts of the table. The pic below shows 8 players plus dealer. My dealer station is cut straight

Yep I mean 10 plus a dealer who deals for tips and doesn't play. so 11 people total.

It will be a table I purchase offline.

And yeah my chairs aren't that big. I use banquet style chairs.

The real problem is 10 players at a table (plus a dealer), it's one thing early in a big MTT, but I'd never voluntarily play cash 10 handed.

There's a seating room calculator floating around here somewhere, adding a few inches of width will help as well. 96" x 48" seems like it should be pretty solid with banquet chairs. Are you having this table built? Building it yourself? Buying something stock pre-built?

FWIW We play 8 handed fairly comfortably around an 84" x 42" table in gasser chairs.

I'm ordering it offline... pre built.

And yes I understand that playing 10 handed is not ideal. But we have been doing it for years. Just cause we have a group of 15ish that would play every week
