You don’t deal out all the streets face down, then flip them over when you need to?

As a former dealer, that stub still triggers me and I haven't dealt in over 13 years. lol And where's the cut card. "FLOOOOOR!!!"
Yeah, but dont you fan out the stub once all streets have been dealt?
I fully endorse Barrington continuing to make their stock felts like this. The tackier the better!
Just got the LED version from then Walmart sale. I learned how thin the vinyl is…
After removing the plastic cover, I set it on the floor standing up, with the flat, folded edge on the floor. In this position, the corners of the rail are the first contact with the floor.
I moved it slightly, on a berber carpet without lifting it entirely off the floor. Bad idea, rug burn:
It’s mostly hidden when the table is open, but this is a good argument for the table bag, even for storage.

You don’t? I thought we were supposed to do that to make sure there are still 52 in the deck.Yeah, but dont you fan out the stub once all streets have been dealt?

Did you replace the cup holders?
Nope, those are what come with it! That’s fresh out of the box.
Yeah it looks like the LED version, since it’s a little taller with the LEDs, can accommodate a little taller cup holder, so that’s what they put in. It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing!

How deep are the new cup holders?

Ah so still gotta replace them if you want to try and prevent spills.
Yeah, it sure looks that way. I’m surprised they don’t make holes in the bottom deck like the mods that members here have done, and put in proper holders. It’s really not that much more work.
And clearly they understand how shallow the original ones are, or they wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of making new ones specific to the LED and ESPN tables.

I just assume they see a shallow cup holder glued to the wood as more important than a useful cupholder that is deep enough to hold normal beverages.

If I could go back, I would get the jumbo cup holders from the get go. It’s slightly tilting that I can’t put my phone in it.

Yea, same. I think my fear with the jumbos is having to do the extra cutting and getting it perfect center. Other than that, yea, jumbos all the way.If I could go back, I would get the jumbo cup holders from the get go. It’s slightly tilting that I can’t put my phone in it.
I decided to return the two I bought and purchase the LED version instead.
I don't actually care about the LEDs, but getting sturdier plywood and legs is worth the extra $20.

They're fine for cans but just "OK" for bottles (kinda shallow.) Rocks glasses, hydroflasks and 40's aren't going to fly, though, because of the diameter.
I've found that most players will sit dead-center behind their cupholder even on a less-than-full table, so inevitably drinks get smacked every couple of orbits on a shuffle or an overly-excited shove. No spills yet, but I'll probably end up replacing mine soon just for the extra depth.

I knock over my chip stacks multiple times during a self dealt game and usually brush my pint at least once with my hand when it is in the holder in front of me. If I didn’t put the deeper cup holders in, I’d spill a beer at least once a night.
I try hard to get players to sit between the cup holders. I personally hate sitting behind a cup holder, but I think that’s what everyone is used to.

The problem is that people end up trying to take up more room than they're supposed to, and other players are cramped. If it's a full table and I see that happening, I will tell people they should have the cup holder centered in front of them.

There are a few things that can wind me up when playing poker and that is pretty much the top of my list. I hate being squashed and it was one of the most important considerations when building my table.
No space hogging at my (8 max) game
Well........................
Theoretically, if 10 players set directly between the cup holders they take up the exact same amount of space as if they sat in front of the cup holder.
I used to enforce this at my game, but it's definitely harder to enforce/explain than just telling people to sit in front of their cup holder.
LED tables arrived today and I opened one.
It is noticeably heavier and sturdier then the base model. I'm very glad I returned the others and got these instead.

Nice! May I ask how are the LED lights powered? Is there a battery pack or does it plug in? I'd like to get one but would prefer not having a wire.
It plugs in, but you can apparently get a AA battery setup for it. It’s described here:
