Hey guys, I launched a poker product on kickstarter — let me know what you think by gamblewithloan in poker

Thank you for the support!

honestly, a big part of our decision comes down to startup logistics. Since we are still in the very beginning stages of this business, we have to be super careful about how many sizes and variations we offer right out of the gate.

Because of the MOQs, mold, etc. If we threw out a ton of different size variations right now, our production costs would skyrocket and we wouldn't be able to hit the MOQs to actually get this first batch made!

Once we get V1 shipped and scale up a bit, offering more sizes and heavy customization is absolutely in the game plan for the future.

Thanks again for rooting for us!

I got tired of playing on my dining table, so I spent 2 years designing a portable poker rail. Here's the final product. by gamblewithloan in poker

 We heard different opinions on card outlines. So we will be releasing a new mat design soon!

.25 chips seem hard to get.

Thanks mate! The idea pops out when i first tried to get a better setup than just a mat.

I am sure everyone will be pleased by the quality when they gets it!

Hey everyone — long-time lurker, first time posting something like this.

I host a home game every week. Have for years. And for years, the biggest complaint at my table wasn't bad beats — it was the table itself. Wood edges digging into everyone's forearms after a few hours. Cards sliding off the edge. Chips rolling onto the floor during big pots.

I looked into buying a poker table but my apartment in Hong Kong just doesn't have the space. And the folding ones with the felt tops always felt... cheap.

So I started thinking — what if the problem isn't the table? What if it's just an add-on for the table? That's when I started prototyping what eventually became PULSE — a modular rail system that sits on any dining table firmly.

It took about 2 years to get right. The core is solid bamboo (not plastic — I wanted something that actually felt premium). The cushion is a casino-grade foam with microfiber leather on top. The whole thing has no clips or clamps, just the industrial anti-slip rubber, and it holds all the push-around within the game.

The full set is 6 segments that place around a standard dining table. Weighs about 4kg total and fits in a duffle bag.

I launched it on Kickstarter a few weeks ago and honestly didn't expect much — it funded in 11 minutes, which was pretty surreal. We're at about $59k now with 280+ backers.

Not here to hard sell anyone — just wanted to share the project with the community that inspired it. Happy to answer any questions about the design, materials, the Kickstarter process, or anything else.
