Default Quiet poker night?

Does anyone have any experience trying to insulate poker-night noise from the family/roommates/neighbors?

(I mean, aside from moving to the garage, saying "shh!" more, cutting off the beer, or ending the night sooner.)

My particular problem isn't so much with an adjacent wall or shared floor/ceiling, but rather noise traveling down the hallway.

I have my poker game at the kitchen table, and I have a roommate that has a room around the corner, a total of about 25' from the table.

I haven't gotten any real complaints from her, but I would like to take pre-emptive action to head off any future issues.

So I'd like to hear some ideas and experiences.

Thicker doors for the bedrooms? Acoustical tile over the table? Strategically placed bookshelves?

Tell me what you've tried, or would try in this situation.
