I am considering building a new poker table to replace one of my octagon tables. The thing is , I don't have a lot of space as we are not blessed with full size basements in Texas .
The question I have is what is the smallest size oval table that will hold 9/10/11 players. Ideally I would only normally seat 8, but would make it 9/10/11 when needing to break the tables and get a cash game started. I was thinking 72"x42" would be a decent size - but could I get 10 around that in a pinch? Wall to wall I have 134" to work with. I want a table that would fit in that space and still allow people to squeeze around to get to the beer and bathroom. Any idea what the footprint required for a table would be? I could probably go as big as 82 inches, but don't want to have to have people get up to let others out from the other side of the table.
Thoughts?
