Best cupholder spacing for my game (3 Viewers)

Pretty sure those won’t work with a raised rail. I’m not really a fan anyway.

Yes they would. Goes below the table.

Under the rail on the outside?

8 but the 2nd from the top design minus the one at 6:00. Put all your ocd players on tilt before the cards hit the speedcloth! I'm sure you've already thought of this but my experience isn't the # of cupholders that's important but the depth...

You know what, I can. Drink on the table is $100 fee to the house. I’m going with what I actually want, which is no cupholders in the rail and drink carts with cupholders.

this is kind of what we do at my house, except the fine is you pay the dinner/snack bill

But I don’t want to be the drink police and have to stress out about it.

"No drinks in the table. This table cost me $x and I don't want any spills.

I figure a spill will happen once every 10 times a drink is placed on the table, so if I catch a drink on the table, it's a $x/10 fine. There are side tables for you to use."

If you usually have a dedicated dealer (like I do, @detroitdad) you probably don't want a cupholder directly where the dealer sits.

I did mine with a cutout in the rail for the dealer, with cupholders straddling the space:

I prefer a cleaner lol. Drink carts for me.

Yeah that right there is most important to me - I can’t spend the night worrying about who’s gonna break what, so for me, cupholders in the rail mean I never have to side-eye anybody’s drink.

Correct, your house, your rules. No reason for someone to move a drink from the cart to the felt and if everyone is on it, you aren’t the police. Let the offenders know.

 

[T_Chan]

Let the players be the police. If someone catches another player resting their drink on the felt, the offender must pay the person who caught it 10BB.

I gave this a lot of thought for my table as well. I finally went with 8 cup holders (and dealer station) cause I generally play 8 handed. If u generally play 8 handed go with 8. But I can see going with 9 thou so if u r only 8 handed players can sit between them instead of directly behind. It’s a tough call (between 8 or 9). No right answer (although I never considered 10). Good luck!

I’ve come to realize I hate cup holders in the rail. I buy the ones you can stick under the rail and move around or get rid of
