In-flight poker table... (2 Viewers)

On the one hand, very cool and certainly eclipses my meager abilities.
On the other hand, judging by the amount of hatred I have for people who even turn on the overhead light next to me in the miserable confines of the ever-shrinking airline seats, the only thing that would save me from being in prison for the rest of my life is that I would probably not be able to find an object sharp enough to stab you to death in-flight.

Really? Not buying in as player 3?

You should apply for a patent!
Now you can start a new thread - for cup holders in the rail.
It might be tough to tell from the pics, but the rail is only 1" wide. In rail cupholders would be for shot glasses only.
Maybe not a bad idea...

Please don't use this in the middle and aisle seats. I don't want to read about your plane being grounded somewhere in Wyoming because on the way to the West Coast the inside passenger that had to pee had to wait 15 minutes for you to finish the hand and pack up this monstrosity.
On the other hand, for flights with only 2 seats per side, this is pretty cool. Overkill for Guinness and I because we just take turns shoving air at each other, but for normal people, sure.

Actually, it is quite easy to put away if anyone needed access.
Really cool.
This is the best thing i've seen this year

Love this!
I always thought airlines prohibit consumption of alcohol not purchased from them.

Should it be played with miniature cards?
Nah, probably not, so hard to shuffle those.

Thanks! This last trip the table earned us a double of whiskey, at no cost, and two offers to join in.

We bring the shaker and the olives. The olives are soaked in vermouth overnight, then placed in a ziploc bag with just a little vermouth. On the plane we ask for 2 vodkas, one with ice and one without.
Other than the little vermouth that is in the ziploc, they are serving all the alcohol. We just make it better.

Just bumping this thread because I realized that I did not post the updated "backpack" carry case Mrs Zombie made for the table.
Super cool. Any in flight pics?

Nashville to Tampa...
Nashville to Las Vegas...
Long flights allow for long blind levels. Nashville to Seattle
It's not just for air travel. Arrived early for flight leaving Iceland, plenty of time to get in some cards in the terminal.
Flight delay in Ft Lauderdale. Pulled out the table for a little cash game in a restaurant.
Yet another flight delay. Whoever says air travel sucks, hasn't asked to be dealt in (we bring enough chips to handle a 3 player game).
That's just too cool

Although Jbutler and Bergs aren't on PCF anymore, I am happy to report that we have allayed the concern they raised about 'trapping' a passenger that needs to use a restroom.
On one of the flights, midway through, the passenger in the window seat needed to use the restroom. He seemed to apologize for the inconvenience (which is what any sane person would do if they ask you to stand up). We told him, no problem. We have a system worked out. The short stack (by number of physical chips, not chip value) drops their chips in the chip tube. The supports pop out and the board is then folded on top of everything on the side where the player still has chips on the table. One player gets up with the table, the other gets up with the drinks.
Easily, well under 1 minute. It would take longer to wake someone that was sleeping than we took to stand up.
