Fugly Poker Table Thread (27 Viewers)

As BG points out, that's the table lighting. I suspect that people were far more used to candles being close to them so bumping them would be less of an issue. The height of the candlesticks would actually help any uncomfortable heat situation as the candles grew shorter.

As a former museum docent, I've never seen such a table, but the thought put into it makes me think it may be authentic. If I were local I'd consider giving it a look, as it could easily be worth 3-5x the listed price if in good condition.

Interesting!! Who knew? (Not me!)

If you bought that table, you'd have to go all in on the theme. Get some FDL mold chips. Chanman cloth with the French flag. Bounty chips with Marie Antoinette that say "Let them eat cake" and a guillotine.

While this may be fugly by today's standards, in 18th century France this was awesome.

Only 4 players, but it was pre-poker boom.
Hell, it was pre-electricity boom.

Not really a poker table and not really ugly. In fact that is a cool antique game table.

I think it is a Whist table.

Unfortunately, there's not enough felt to even play mahjong on it. There goes the Chinese market.

If one was Orthodox Jewish, would you need 7 candles in every corner?

This just popped up on my facebook memories today. 10 years ago I bought this table on craiglist for I think $40. Oh how far I've come...

Possibly an unpopular opinion but themed poker tables are just tacky, and don't get me started on the chips around the rail.

I think if you were to really theme out a room, a themed poker table would be the only way to go. To add to the theme, you just need to add a guy selling beers for a buy-in apiece, serve hamburgers that taste like high-school cafeteria food, and the players in seats 6 and 7 have to get into a fistfight , landing one in the holding cell, located under the table.

Is that AstroTurf?

Edit: clearly I meant Cheater Turf. I forgot the new terminology.

Excaliburs, Flamingos, Horseshoes, Paris, Bellagio, Golden Nugget...

Great table for punting! Shouldn't the logo in center be NFL?

Please tell me those chips are just decoration and not permanently attached to the table.

I believe they're under epoxy resin, from what the original poster commented on reddit.

It's not the worst table I've seen. I'm not in love with the chip lined race track as it would confuse me at the table but I think the table looks *okay* overall.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I refuse to believe those chips are under resin. You would see the scratch marks as someone worth their salt would try to claw them out.

As I said, red octagon means STOP!

And that one is NOT optional....it doesn't have a white ring around the edges

 

[Mangatang]

And, can you really call those "drink holders"?

[Mangatang]

What the bloody hell?!? Is that the underside of the table? What's the deal with the rope? And what are those scrotum-like sacks hanging off the side?

Now you know what happens when you finish 3 bottles of Crown Royal Peach, decide to build a poker table, and the only tools you own are a hammer, hot glue gun, and a pair of scissors.

Somebody's wife is going to be pissed when she gets home.

It looks like a pirate got wasted and tried to put together a poker table with just his sword and some leftover scrap from the poop deck.

 

[sem0030]

Originally thought it was flotation devices and was thinking the guy just wanted to play poker in the pool

 

[allforcharity]

There's custom good, and then there's custom shit. This is BY FAR the extreme example of the latter. Even I can do better than that.

 

[mcguiles]

Fugly....

 

[rowlin]

I’m not even going to say what that looks like.

 

[allforcharity]

Fugly....

Okay, that's the THIRD time this table has been posted. We get it, it's fugly, everyone agrees!
