Traditional poker tables are either circular, octagonal, or oval-shaped, the perfect shape to position players where other players can’t see their cards. Players who are grown-ups, aspiring grown-ups, or even the young-at-heart - all can benefit from the sophistication and function that comes from playing on a surface designed for the playing of poker. Serious poker players, however, should look into a dedicated, purpose-built poker table to add to their home, place of business, or gaming hall. All you need is a deck of cards, some chips, and a flat surface. You can play poker on just about any flat surface available to you-the kitchen table, the dining room table, the coffee table, the floor.
