Poker is a beautiful game!!! The greatest part about poker is that at any moment, an amateur player can not only compete against a professional, but can come out victorious as well. Don't believe me, just ask Mr. Chris Moneymaker. He beat the odds back in 2003 when he captured The World Series Of Poker Championship Bracelet. From an unknown to one of the recognizable face's of poker today, over the span of a poker tournament.
Picture this, The same five poker players play three separate games of poker. One on a poker table, one on a kitchen table and the last on a big cardboard box. Excluding comfort, just looking at pure skill and knowledge, you will still get the same caliber of game. The poker table does not affect the out come of the game. It does, however, impact the atmosphere of the game.
Other than the casino's, have you ever played a game of poker on a real poker table? It just seems to elevate the vibe tremendously. It makes you want to continue the game forever. I knew a guy who loved to host a monthly poker tournament. About twenty to thirty people would show up every month. He had three separate tables. The big dining room table, the kitchen table and one of those square, leg folding tables. The featured table was obviously the big dining room table.
To all of us guest's who had arrived, we showed up in May to a wonderful surprise!!! A beautiful full size green felt poker table. I am talking about the real deal!!! Surrounded with padding. Equipped with cup holders. I was not the only one who stood there in glee. Needless to say, our monthly poker tournament had a new featured table!!!
Before you knew it, more and more people would start to show up. By the end of July, our tournament became a bi-monthly event. Still generating more and more players. Now, every Saturday night there is a tournament to be won. The experience is so much better now. It became the place to be.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but it was all because of the new poker table. Before that, there was hardly no new interest in joining our game's. As soon as the new poker table arrived, BOOM!!!!! My buddy had to actually buy new poker chips in order to accommodate the increase of participants. Everybody sincerely fell in love with the table. So much in fact that we have all been lobbying him to go out and get another one. (Or two!!!)
In summary, I basically wanted to say that you do not need a poker table in order to enjoy the game of poker. However, I highly recommend that you do purchase one. You can definitely find one that will fit your budget. The leg-less table top one's can be bought for less than one hundred dollars. The professional full size's range in the hundreds of dollars, depending on exactly what you want. So go on, find your new poker table now!!! Your poker guest's will appreciate that you are a host who knows how to go ALL IN...
