Minimum Room Size for Full Size Table? (3 Viewers)

You should see me working in the shop sometimes, doing a lift like Atlas moving stuff around.
 
Great work, @T_Chan !

Now I just have to wait until March for my chairs. Unlike GPI, Gasser does take individual custom orders.

First off, the table size is usually dictated by how many players that you want to sit. If it's 10, then I agree on a 96"x48" table. I find that sitting on the end, it's hard to deal cards without standing up to do so.
My prefered table is 8 players, so therefore, I have an 84" x 42" table. It has a smaller footprint, so it can easily fit in a smaller room.
My room size is approx 15'x 12' counting an alcove. The table sits on one end of the room, with enough room for the players in the back to get up and walk around the seated players.
I put my bar fridge inset in the wall to give more walking space. The alcove has 3 small tables for the light snacks, napkins, snack bowls, etc. The bar fridge holds the variety of drinks. On the left of the fridge is a table for cups, glasses, ice bucket, and hard liquor.
The table has pull out snack bowl holders to keep the snacks off the table proper.

These were temporary chips until the ones I ordered came in. We only play small stakes, more for the guy time and a few drinks and a few laughs. We play dealer choice : Texas Hold'Em, Crazy Pinneaple, Fusion and Omaha. We play a cash game for 4 hours, then cash in.
My chips are cheap Casino Ace chips with 1-2-5-25 for a total of 200.00. 1-2 are the blinds.

As far as the original dimensions question…

The amount of space needed around the table can also depend on the dimensions of your players.

I play in one private game which features a reg whose diameter has to be a good 36". Not belt size… Diameter.

If you can always put unusually large regs at the end or side of a table where there is more room, then it’s less of an issue.

This thread came back up for me because someone liked one of the posts, and thought it would be good to memorialize my thoughts after having been settled in for a few years.

10x15 is workable if you buy a house, but ~11x16I'd say would be the comfortable minimum if you are trying to pick out a house with an ideal space or building form scratch. My room can get a little tight if you're trying to make your way behind seated players but in front of the TV or side tables. It works, but boy I wish I had just one more foot or so each direction.

Movable side tables is a must. Really limit big furniture if you can.

The kitchen triangle is sink/stove/fridge. The poker 'square' is probably chips/supplies, table, bar/snacks/bathroom. Was lucky enough to put a closet by the dealer seat, and bar with direct access and bathroom just outside the door - and that has worked really well. The only "ideal ideal" would be a second bathroom, but that's a little much to ask in a house :)

Happy to answer any questions you'd have on this too.
