Kinda appropriate title, but also an attention grabber i think lol.

Alright, so i decided after about 2 months of deliberation that those 30 dollar fold out poker tables suck real hard. However, everything better costs upwards of 700. So im gonna build one. However, i don't have too much experience playing on different tables so i'm not sure what kind to make. I'm pretty sure i like the long ovalish ones better than the circles making one that is like 8x4 ft, but what about the rail? Like, i can make a race track style table with padded rail, polished/varnished racetrack area then center felt thing. Or i can make one where its just the rail and felt, or i can make one where the rail is like a foot above the playing area like those on the wpt. What is ya'll's experience with these different types of tables? Do you prefer playing on ones with cup holders? etc. I found a good site dealing with instructions on how to make one, just want to make sure there isnt some serious annoyance with any particular design before i do something i cant take back lol. Tell me what you think and thanks for the input.
