NEVERMIND... NEW POLL UP... please see that one :-)

All right boys and girls... This is my situation. Im going to order this felt and I want it to be perfect. I have two questions here.

First, what size image... I think 36x16 (middle in size) is my best option, but here are some pics side by side. The burgundy is just there to show the rail (its black on my table.)

Next, should I go with Suited Speed Cloth or "Gaming Suede" from custompokercloths.com. I have speed cloth and was all set to order it but now Im thinking the "Gaming Suede" would be nicer. I hate these decisions.... CHIPTALK ---- HEEEEEELLLPPP MEEEEEE!!!!!




Picture of a size mock-up (work with me here) on the table 24x11








Mock- up of 36x16







THIS IS A MOCK-UP OF A Tweener size in between the two small ones. Disregard the big one since its just way to big....

This mock-up is 30x13 and its NOT in the poll choice but let me know if you like this one....

Re: POLL: Custom felt image size.... I wanna be sure...

I didn't vote (too lazy to get out the ruler and put it on my table) but as a custom felt owner and player, I'd suggest the smaller one.

You don't want it dominating (ala Chuck) your table, and the larger you make it the more of a screaming statment it makes.

Keep it small (like your first picture) so that it stays classy and not looking like a billboard, and I might recommend that since this is a custom printed felt (unless it costs a WHOLE LOT MORE) you print a "race track" about 6-7 inches inside of rail. I did this with my table and it has avoided COUNTLESS numbers of "Is that a bet?" or "Are you counting or betting?" scenarios.

Our house rule is, "If it passes the line, it is LIVE." So as soon as you win a pot, just shove it all behind the line, and stack it at your leisure. Leave it infront of the line and it will be considered a bet. Or if you want to count out a bet or raise, so long as you do it BEHIND the bet-line, you are not commited to the action until it crosses the line.

Re: POLL: Custom felt image size.... I wanna be sure...

Oh and about the different cloths, simply ask "Which one will last the longest?"

My custom cloth was by lonestarpokercloth(s?).com and it is a real heavy duty (like on a black jack table) dense felt.

I clean it with a pool table brush and a sticky roller and I have zero fear of hurting it. This stuff is INDUSTRIAL and I have no doubt that it will last years of weekly abuse. Heck it's almost a year old now and the only thing I see different about it is that the white in my logo is a little dirty. Still white, but dingy but then again I've never really tried to clean it with any kind of solvent.

Re: POLL: Custom felt image size.... I wanna be sure...

I will also say that I would use a betting line but thats a personal choice so I would go with either of the 2 smaller ones. I knida like the middle one but not sure if thats too much for the table or not.

I'll have to get a tape measure and see but I would go with the middle one if no betting line of maybe one half way between the middle and small one with a betting line.

I see a need for more PICTURES, possibly in a new thread of your own so we don't distract anyone from Duece's question.

I also prefer the smaller graphic for the same reasons you noted.

Re: POLL: Custom felt image size.... I wanna be sure...

So as not to hi-jack, I'll post a link.

The poker room is FAR more improved than in these pics (painted, redecorated, curtains, etc.) the table is the same though.

I'll try to add some more updated pictures this weekend.
