What to Look For When Choosing Quality Poker Table Felts

By Brian Garvin

Just as with anything else out on the market, there are a lot of options for Poker Table Felts. While this may make it a little confusing at first, it is a great thing that there are so many options. Whether you have color, design, or affordability as your main concern, you will be able to find exactly what you need with our hints and tips.

Basing it on the Game

Many people themselves picking their Poker Table Felts according to the type of game that they play most often. This is something that you can do as well. Do you play Blackjack or Texas Hold 'em often? Then again, you do not have to limit your options this way as you can pick whatever you like based on your likes and dislikes. No one has to be stuck with the boring green felt unless they want to.

Instead, go out and look for the designs and patterns that fit your personality. If you need a Holdem setup that comes in a royal blue suited felt, then by all means get it. There are all kinds of options if you just get out there and look. It's going to be your decision, so you will know what Poker Table Felts are right for you.

Durability

It is hard to say which Poker Table Felts are stronger and more durable than others because we personally have not tried each and every single one out there. Also, what may be the best for you may not be what is best for someone else. This is mostly because of the amount of time you may utilize your felt versus how much time someone else will spend on it. Either way, no matter what you end up with, there are things you can do to cut down on the wear of the felt so that it lasts longer for you.

The first thing we recommend is getting darker colors. This will give you the opportunity to possibly spill a beverage, potato chips, cheetos, or anything similar and keep it from showing. Those late night parties tend to get crazy every once in awhile, so you might as well plan on getting them dirty from time to time. The good news is you can use a warm cloth and soapy water to clean the felt. Heck, we've even seen people clean them with carpet shampooers.

Don't Forget Water Resistance

Even though the Poker Table Felts never used to have a lot of water resistance, there have been a lot of improvements made. Manufacturers are now placing a waterproof coating on the bottom of the felt. This helps to make sure that liquid spills do not soak through and damage the table or material underneath. This is a feature that you just might want to have in time for your next game.

The Price

Many people are now shopping on a budget. Because of this, there are many affordable options out there and we have complied them together for your convenience. Just make sure that you are taking everything mentioned here into considered so that you are making a purchase that you can be comfortable with. You want to get the best use out of your Poker Table Felts so make sure that you are looking through all of your options. - 16887
