Table Specifications

Table Dimensions 2.4m × 1.2m

Our poker tables are full-size, measuring 2.4 meters by 1.2 meters, providing ample space for up to 10 players without crowding. The oval shape ensures optimal sightlines for all players, while the rail is padded with high-density foam for comfort during long sessions. The table height is set at 76 cm, standard for professional play.

Felt Speed Index 35

The felt on our tables has a speed index of 35, offering a balanced glide that allows cards to move smoothly without being too slippery. Speed index 35 is ideal for both casual and tournament play. The felt is made from a durable, stain-resistant microfiber, providing consistent card slide and chip stacking.

Custom Clay Chip Weights 14g

We use 14g composite clay chips, the standard weight for professional poker, providing a satisfying heft and authentic feel. Each chip is 14 grams, made from composite clay for durability. The chips have a textured surface to prevent slipping and are custom-designed with the venue's logo.

Craftsmanship and Materials

Built for Serious Play

Each table is constructed from solid hardwood with reinforced legs, ensuring stability even during intense play. The frame is made from kiln-dried oak for strength, and the rail is wrapped in premium leather for a luxurious feel. Tables are inspected and maintained weekly to keep every surface tournament-ready.

Premium Felt and Finish

The felt is a custom-dyed green that reduces glare and eye strain, while the finish is matte to prevent reflections. The felt color is a deep green, reminiscent of classic poker rooms, and the matte finish ensures no distracting shine. The felt is treated to resist spills and stains, keeping the table clean through long sessions.

Rules and Standards

Respecting Table Action

We enforce strict rules to protect the integrity of the game, including clear action order and no acting out of turn.

  • Players must act in turn; acting out of turn may result in a penalty.
  • Verbal declarations are binding.
  • Dealers manage the action and ensure fairness.

String Bet Restrictions

String bets are not allowed. A player must either announce their raise or place all chips in one motion. A string bet is defined as placing chips in multiple motions without a verbal declaration. This rule prevents angle shooting and ensures clarity. Dealers are trained to identify and correct string bets.

Card Visibility Rules

Players must keep their cards visible on the table at all times, above the table edge, to prevent cheating.

  • Cards must not be hidden or taken off the table.
  • Players should protect their cards with a chip or card protector.
  • Any violation may result in a dead hand.

Professional Offline Poker Conduct

We maintain a respectful and professional environment, with zero tolerance for abusive behavior or collusion. Players are expected to treat dealers and opponents with respect. Collusion or soft play is strictly prohibited, and violations may lead to removal from the venue.

Poker Games Supported

Texas Hold'em

The most popular poker game, played with two hole cards and five community cards, available in both cash games and tournaments. No-limit and pot-limit variations are offered, and the game is regularly featured in our weekly tournaments. It is ideal for players of all skill levels.

Omaha

A high-action game with four hole cards, offering more complex hand possibilities and bigger pots. Pot-limit Omaha is the standard, and the game is popular among experienced players. Omaha is available on request for private games.

Seven Card Stud

A classic poker game with no community cards, emphasizing memory and reading opponents. Played with a mix of face-up and face-down cards, Seven Card Stud is available for private groups and remains a favorite among traditionalists.

Atmosphere and Exclusivity

An Underground Cardroom Feel

The tables are set in a dimly lit, industrial space with felt-covered surfaces, creating an intimate and focused environment. Low lighting with focused table lamps keeps attention on the cards, while background music is kept low to allow concentration. The decor features dark wood, steel, and leather, reinforcing the speakeasy atmosphere of the room.
