Pool Table Preference Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Would you rather shoot pool on an 8 foot pool table, or the smaller bar-sized pool table?

Flat isn't the option, and this is a serious inquiry.
Assume both will be flat.

Big is good, assuming you have the room to comfortably play pool on it. Cue + wall behind you makes for an annoying game.

Bigger is better, but they are more expensive than smaller tables. I don't really know which one is better, given that.

Large table. Always opt for the larger one. Small ones are fine until you decide to get serious.

You can also buy refurbished for decent deal. Just make sure it's delivered, leveled and the slate underneath the fabric is relatively intact.

Increase Your PM Length

Let me get this straight:
Both are free
There is plenty of room to hold the table
And you needed this thread to help you decide which one to pick?

And I thought the Texan state motto was along the lines of "Mine's bigger than yours" . . .

I started playing snooker before playing pool, so I'm comfortable with playing on big(ger) tables.

The table is equal to both players; Sloww just has a 6' cue.

You have to remember to put in good lighting as well. One of those fixtures that hangs over snooker tables is the best.

Is somebody going to start paying attention to the apoplectic Texan telling us that we don't understand his thread, or should we just continue discussing felt quality?

It's so freakin easy to run the table on those tiny bar tables. The large ones actually take some skill to play on.

Small bar tables = suck.

Morons. I have morons on my team.

Ok morons, here's the deal.

The American Legion has an offer for an 8' mahogany pool table.
Currently, there's a beat to hell bar sized table being used.
Amazingly, the Commander is prepared to turn down the offer; and there's no reason getting all into the discussion about they whys and crap.

I was under the misguided impression I could survey you jackasses to make my point.
What a laugh riot that thought was.
13 votes, and more bullshit answers by far than votes.
Thanks for your consideration and help.
Morons.
