If you’re a regular and skilled poker player, or you host a weekly game or two at home, why the hell haven’t you got your own table, well here is your chance as i have played on all of these.

The first one is named the Club, it’s a massive 240cm table &, like all popular poker tables it comes with fold away legs. For a little cheaper you can have the same table without the lines or holders but for a little extra you can have a personalised print, photo or image.

I would definitely recommend this as its an awesome table.

Halfway.

82-Inch Poker Table

£139.99 (plus £5.95 delivery)

SA little smaller and a lot cheaper, the table will hold 10 people ad has importantly drink/beer holders. It’s not that strong compared to the more expensive tables and it doesn’t have the cosmectically pleasing lines as the higher priced tables – speculate to accumulate – If your on a tight budget but want something reasonable i would recommend this.

Cheap

4 way-Folding Table

£19.99 (plus £14.50 delivery)

One level up from a cloth monstrosity table is this wooden chunk and it comes from Pokergoods uk the only problem i can see if you want something for a cheap mess around is the delivery charge.

Mr Scrooge

Texas Hold’em cloth Layout

£13.95 (plus £5.95 delivery)

Simply a piece of cloth, on a table, but don’t laugh until you have tried it because, this comes with a pass line and the best bit it is you can cut the cloth to fit your table perfectly which makes it look like a real table.

Apparently once ingesting some drugs, named dopamine agonists, some medical patients have shown that they have now got gambling habits so extreme, and most of them lost over than £110,000 in a 6 month period, and even stranger other people engaged in sexual and obsessive behavioural problems, including over eating, becoming alcoholics, and an insatiable hunger to have sex. Many of the participants resorted to taking the best loans they could to fuel their habits.

Dr Eric Ahlskog, registered at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, has announced that doctors need to stand up and be counted as the drug is used quite heavily.

He has also said that the findings are amazing and pathological gambling arising from the use of a drug, is a crazy and unheard of side-effect, and the proof is in the pudding because when the patient came off the drugs the addiction simply disappeared.

The investigation arose when 11 patients were found to have acquired gambling and sexual problems when there were general clinic checkups.

Out of the 11 patients over half had never gambled in there lives and 2 had never had sex before going and having dopamine agonist treatment.

Dr Ahlskog said, 7 of the takers of the drug showed pathological gambling routines in a 3 month period when the drug had reached a classical maintenance dose of dopamine or when the amount had been upped.

The actual results have been published in the latest edition of the Archives of Neurology.
