Wow. Been a while. The last time I logged on a few years ago, someone remembered who I was and that they had met me at a house party in Vegas in 2009. The mind, and specifically the memory, of a poker player astounds me. Kudos to you. I am sure you will see this and remember me once again. I cannot, which explains my poor poker play.
Life has slowed down while picking up speed at the same time. I am married and have a kid now. Poker has taken a backseat to life. I absolutely love being a father, and it's been the absolute best experience of my life. The days are long, but the past year has been short.
You may remember, if you were at that epic party July 3, 2009, that I brought a beer pong table that I built. My fascination with being handmade things has continued, and now that my baseball career is over, I am trying to find a hobby to fill that void baseball has left me with.
I would like to make a high end poker table. I thought I would reach out to those with the same passion I had for poker to ask you all: if you were to buy a poker table for yourself... A nice table, a piece of furniture... What would you want in the table? What are some must have features, and what would you, as a consumer, avoid?
Thanks in advance.

the positions of the arms, some tables have a high brim and you have to rest your arms like some paraplegic T-Rex to look at your cards. |

I will post pics upon completion.
Why an octogon over a standard 10 person 8x4 foot table? |

i find standard 10 person 8x4 foot tables ugly. I have no problems with them in the casino or at tours, but not in my home. It has to be an elegant piece of furniture. I had an ugly one, but it was foldable and was only erected when needed.
symmetry, style, smoothness, like in the picture above |
