Just purchased this 2 fold poker table. Does anyone have anything like this? Was curious if anyone had any feedback on how it holds up.

Most of them are pretty good and are good for what you use it for ( poker I hope). They are dead-hard to clean but Im sure you could ask the resident cinderfella how to get cheese curls out of poker felt. I have this one: I guess click here

Its not a fold up table, but it works. Im sure the table is even better. Now try having a 12 person STT with an 8 player poker table top. Thats some fun

Hath HELL totally frozen over?

Better question for you. Where are you going to put the table when you are ready to play? Move the dining room table to the side? Rearrange the sofa and other living room furniture? Basically, you spent 149 smackaroonies and have to keep the table at someone else's house (the one guy in your group not afraid of the little woman...with a frying pan in hand).

So...let's see now, who can you get for agame. Your father-in-law, that girl from California that you did nothing with for three days and nights (yes bud, I am enjoying this)....oh I know, maybe dcorange can come play and erase everything you say as it's probably not gong to go anywhere anyway (am I really that evil????).

What I am amazed at is that they came out specifically with a Texas Hold 'Em table. The game I go to has had the old roundish/octagonish shape classic (yes, the one I used to play with Robert E. Lee on).

Seriously....M'Lady let you buy that????????
Maybe that turns you on, morons; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies.

Hey wait...it's not a Hold'em table unless it has cheesy little rectangle chalk outlines for the cards, usually cleverly labeled "FLOP TURN RIVER" for your convenience.

Tres convenient, if you hire a dealer, otherwise pointless. Also pointless: sweet airbrushing or silkscreening of spurs and revolvers and um.. cows... and.. cacti... and horses...and armadillos... which allegedly adds to the Texasity of it all. Nice.

I do like when they have a line drawn around the edge, like Guy's does...makes betting easier for people stuck in the corners (just push over line, rather than toss all the way into middle). But, like he said, the pre-spaced racks for chips are a pain if you're trying to fit more than 8 people at the table.

Foldy tables suck if they're wobbly. One bump, and someone's Hooch Spritzer is all over your precious pocket 6's. So, bear that in mind. Although, with casino-quality felt...I'll bet you got a nice one. It'll still be on e-bay in a month, though, after you play on it and lose, and realize it's cursed. Or... as soon as what Stock says comes true.

I think you should build one.

To Stock: No, i bought the table with asking the Mrs. I told her we are selling the dining room set and I bought a particle board to cover the hold 'em table so we can eat dinner on it. What? Not a good move?

She bought into it based on the fact that it is 2 fold and I can store it in the garage. And I'd use the table in the living room as I have plenty of room to fit it. The dining room table is used as a 2'nd table if I protect it well enough.

And, in regards to the invitees, you can add the duds in Toronto. They have as much personality as the particle board I bought.

(I'm still LOLing on the Cali chick)


To Ohio: They actually already sell it on ebay. The company who produces them sells to the place i bought it from. They charge $19.99 (if I get it at the lowest bid) plus $140 for shipping. The store I got it for $207 with shipping and taxes. So $47 more on the site but I have a 30 day warranity and it came with the protective case where the ebay version did not. The ebay version came in red and blue as well as the green.

plus $140 for shipping.

Reminds me of the flat screen 60" I bought on Ebay. Only cost $12.99. Shipping....$2785. I could have bought it locally for $1500 plus $10 for the Mexican (yes, i know that is over paying a bit), to carry it to the house from the car, but hey...I got a bargain for $12.99.

cinderfella here to the rescue... get a stiff bristled brush and sweep it clean... like a pool table... if you have issues finding one, look for a pool table supply place...

I'm sure they do, hun..I was just sayin' YOU'D be posting it "for sale" there once you found it was dripping with bad beet mojo. Ugh. Things are so much less hilarious when I have to explain them.

What's this about $20 poker tables and $12.99 plasma TV's? Whatta deal!! I gotta sign up for this e-Bay fad. Suppose they'd give me a break on that shipping if I offered to pick it up at their warehouse?

to ODS: a bristly brush will work? I imagine you have to back that up with a sucking device of some kind, like a dustbuster or a hoover, or something. I have a friend whose felt needs cleaning real bad, he decided to treat it like leather (? I know. I was surprised, too) ...and...well....it's not pretty. Can you shampoo the felt? Or, is it better to just re-felt the whole thing?

Know what never gets old? "Hey, is that tabletop felt?" "No." "It is now!" LOL :lol:

I got your joke when you said it. Was just letting you know it was actually on eBay. Plus the fact that it wasn't funny. And I also don't lose nor do I believe in curses. There was no curse of the Bambino...the Red Sox just sucked all those years. As the Cubs continue to do. But let me not take my own thread off-topic. Or is that too late?

ok, for regular maintenance, a bristly brush should work fine... just keep in mind not to press too hard or you will have tons of little green felt pills... it used to take about 20 minutes to do four pool tables.

If the felt is already ruined... it is possible to refelt it (I know how to do it for a pool table, but imagine it would be

a) more difficult to do on a poker table - unusual shape, not designed to be refelted

and

B) less rewarding to do on a poker table - no fancy outlines for the flop, turn, river, etc

and probably not worth the effort.

You can purchase felt and most of these tables are easy to remove the padding and replace the felt. Just need a staple gun and time.

Of course if you buy a crap table that is cheap then it may not be worth the time or energy, but the felt isn't expensive so most tables are worth the effort if they come apart easily enough.
