I'm thinking about getting a second poker table and I wanted to get some opinions on the playing surface.
First, I was considering getting a playing surface with a betting line. I like the idea of one and the look. Also, I occasionally host games with newbie players and I think having a betting line would help with betting errors and splashed pots. However, I would assume that just adding a betting line is going to up the price as it would be considered a customized upgrade. Do you think it's worth the price just for a betting line? Are there any reasons not to use a betting line that I'm not considering? I'm not really interested in putting any images on the playing surface - I personally find them kind of distracting, so paying for an upgrade just for the line does seem like a waste of money. Obviously, if getting a playing surface with a betting line does not count as a customized upgrade, I will most likely get it.
Second, speed cloth or casino suede dye sublimation cloth? From what I've read and experienced, the cards slide much easier on speed cloth but suede has a much softer and nicer feel. I hate playing on tables where looking at hole cards is a pain, but being able to easily deal the length of the table is definitely nice. Any opinions?
