Ultimate Guide: Poker Gifts
A quality tabletop can elevate any home game -- the felt top and the chip and drink holders give you the look and feel of Vegas for a reasonable price. Standard 8-seat felt tabletops range from about $30 to $200. The ones at the bottom of the price range are usually cheaply constructed and not very sturdy. You're generally pretty safe in the $60-$150 price range. Things to consider:Measure your table first, and make sure to check the measurements on whatever you buy. If you get a tabletop that's too big for your table, your run the risk of someone knocking the whole thing over - not only ruining the game but likely creating a nice mess. Tabletops come in two basic varieties depending on the shape of your table: Round or Elongated oval. 
ChipsClay chips are a must to recreate the feel of a professional game. Don't worry about the term "clay composite" that you see in all the chip sets - that just means clay has been mixed with other materials to attain a better quality, more economic chip. Things to consider:The number of players you'll be hosting and the kinds of games you play will generally determine the number of chips you need.
