Never mind best — what is it that makes a table a 'poker' table?
Is it the cushiony edge for elbow- and forearm-resting? Is it the recessed drink holders? Is it the chip wells? Is it the slightly-cushioned felt that makes picking up cards and raking in pots atactile pleasure?
Is it the fact that it can be folded up and stuffed in any closet until the next time your cousin shows up with cash money and the only type of six-pack he'll ever possess?
Is it — is it all of these things? Why yes. Yes, it is. And thanks for asking.
Only one of the tables I've listed folds up for easy under-the-bed storage, by the way.

I'll admit that watching half-full cans of beer suddenly catapult across the living room can be entertaining af (particularly when you throw in the look of exquisite dumbfoundedness on mycousin's face), but a real mess to clean up.
All in all, not my favorite Thanksgiving.
I've also eliminated the game-specific tables pitched as home poker tables, since as much as I love playing Texas hold'em, I don't fancy dealing every hand for 12 hours, which the long, narrowdesign of the standard Texas hold'em table suggests (but of course, does not require).
Still, a single dealer is strongly suggested by that layout, and most home poker games I've sat in on tend to favor the 'dealer's choice' policy.

Besides, the poker table is often called into service for board games and the like, so a casino-style lima-bean-shaped table is not really an appropriate choice. Besides, where the heck would youput the thing?
Without further ado (mostly because I've run out of ado), here are my five best home poker tables.
