Sweet set up! Looks like a great time.View attachment 138383 I posted this pic recently from a recent cash game I hosted. As you can see clearly with the guy on the left side of the pic, with his elbows rested on the rail his hands are naturally over the felt. Bringing the cards in the wood closer to you would be uncomfortable. Again, never had a complaint.
Just as not everybody plays the same way, not everybody sits the same way at a poker table. What may work for one player may be uncomfortable for others.As you can see clearly with the guy on the left side of the pic, with his elbows rested on the rail his hands are naturally over the felt.

I prefer a table that allows total freedom for where to put my chips and cards (and drink, for that matter), and not one that dictates that I do it a certain way because that's how the designer wants it.

Where are your cards when you're peeking at them? Do you drag them onto the racetrack, or do they stay out there on the fabric? That seems kind of far.View attachment 138383 I posted this pic recently from a recent cash game I hosted.

It took him a second to realize what he was saying as we locked eyes for a good 5 seconds
I don't think that you would ever hear anyone seriously make that comparison. Anyone who complains about a poker table over a kitchen table is suffering from serious first world problems.
I had someone complain to me once that my snacks were kind of crappy. I asked them what kind of snacks that serves at the games he hosts and he responded that he doesn't host because he's too lazy. It took him a second to realize what he was saying as we locked eyes for a good 5 seconds. I haven't heard any complaints since. He's probably the type of guy who would go to a poker game and tell someone their table isn't "nice enough".
Just seeing what your guys opinion is, and if I am just crazy, or not.
Maybe they are just unaware of the better options available elsewhere. Put two tables side-by-side to get a true evaluation about how they feel about 'em.I don’t disagree about silence. However, the point some of us were making is that some of our players complain about the foam density in our carpet padding, yet haven’t complained about our tables

Righto big fella we get it, your a non-racetrack fan....my table is similar to #61's, never a drama on it...except last game, son spilt full glass of Rum n coke on racetrack....man..a picture of my face would've been a classic. But alas....clean-up was a cinch :Maybe they are just unaware of the better options available elsewhere. Put two tables side-by-side to get a true evaluation about how they feel about 'em.
Not better, bestSo on the pro-racetrack side, we have:
They look better
I've been waiting for this. My favorite table concept of all time. Someday I will copy it.
The rest, probably would never know the difference.
My $1/2nl crew plays at the Borgata and my place on both types of table. No one gives a crap
Beautiful table Matt. It's personally my favorite design as well. Aesthetically pleasing, functional to stack chips, while allowing you to shuffle chips and view hole cards on the felt.
These are the exact reasons dice chips are still in existence. Some people look for perfection. Most people don't give 2 shits. A few outliers think perfection is in the other direction. At least they have a reasonable opinion.
Except for the "spill a drink on the racetrack" bit. That's utterly ridiculous. I've had drinks spilled both on my table and on my carpeted floor. No stains. It's called cleaning up quickly. However, my players drink wine, not mustard. YMMV.
Regarding @MegaTon44 comment about stacking chips, I agree. But, we don’t play tournaments and our cash game stacks don’t get too high. That said, they have risen at times and I solved that...with plaques (y) :thumbsup:
