SSC width (1 Viewer)

[FDLmold]

Thinking of building a table. I got to thinking about dimensions. If you have a 72" round or octagon, do they make SSC wide enough for that, say 80"? Is it easy to procure? Just wondering.

6' round?!

Will each spot have a croupier stick for dragging pots?

You don't want a round that big. We play on a 5 foot round at work and you have to stand to rake pots.

Are you guys hiring?

6ft round table just reminded me of this

Yes. It's a conference table we put a poker hoody on.

Typically SSC comes in rolls 54" wide, just wide enough for a 5' round table (60" - 5" rail - 5" rail + ~4" for stapling = 54")

Just going through ideas. Any table I make will get constructed of cardboard first to avoid any potential ridiculousness. There is a balance between personal space and table size. A six foot octagon gives 30" sides. So everybody needs a croupier stick, big deal, I will call it a feature.

a. The mini-suited speed cloth comes in 60" wide rolls, the unsuited speed cloth is 59" wide, and most (all?) of the regular suited speed cloth is only 54" wide.

b. a 60" round makes normal play more difficult than it needs to be, and is not worth the space trade-off vs a 54" round. Anything larger is simply unplayable.

c. You don't need 30" linear space per player -- 24" is plenty, and 21" works in most cases (although a tad cramped with large bodies).
.
d. a 54" round provides 28-1/4" of space per player six-handed, and 21-1/4" of space eight-handed.

e. a large 60" round only provides 23-1/2" of space per player eight-handed..... while a small 7-foot oval provides 24" of space per player nine-handed, while also providing much more game play comfort for the players. Even a very small 6-foot oval provides nearly as much space 8-handed as a 60" round, without any of the drawbacks.

How about something like this? The dealer can sit in the middle.

Save yourself the trouble - here's a pre-made custom 72" x 60" with dealer cut-out, so reaching the center is easy..... complete with drink rail and padded armrest, only $110.....

Thanks! I do have other considerations for the table as well. Sometimes board games that take up a lot of real estate will be played. I agree a 6' octagon seems silly, but I've played board games on 6' round tables before. For 1v1 games it is excessive, but there are 4-6 player games where that 9π square feet of table runs out fast.
