The Perfect Poker Room

The poker table is the center of all the action and it should have the features of a casino table, so all the players feel connected to the game. The table should be big enough to seat 10 players, which means it should be at least 84" x 44" x 30" or just to be safe a 92" x 44" x 30" table is perfect for a Texas Hold'em tournament. The playing surface should be padded and the wool/nylon surface should be scratch resistant and should not fuzz or fray. The poker table should also have built-in drink holders and a dealer's chip tray. The legs should be steel and it should fold for easy storage. Chairs that compliment the table must be comfortable and they should be sturdy enough to hold big players.

The Poker room also needs a pub table and a couple of bar stools. A pub table serves as a rest stop or a conversation pit before, during and after the game. A neon wall clock as well as a couple of casino type neon signs add atmosphere to the poker room and nothing adds more atmosphere than a World Poker Tour Mirror. Other poker accessories should included an automatic deck shuffler, an acrylic discard holder, a dealer's button, card protectors, poker weights and a big blind button for Texas Hold'em games.

The Playing cards as well as the chips should look professional. Plastic playing cards from Royal or Copag make every game seem like a professional tournament. Paulson's all clay poker chips are just like casino chips. They look, sound and feel like the real deal because they are. They're made in the same factories as casino chips. NexGen patented poker chips are another good choice. NexGen chips are designed to give years of service because they’re made using a metal insert and a durable resin composite.

You can add a little more fun to the poker room by getting poker face card protectors for all the players. They add humor as well as provide a service and they are a great finishing touch for any poker room.
