    I think it’s practical in a way. The pool table surface is similar to that of a poker table. I imagine it’s also higher than a regular table which makes it easier to quickly check under your cards.

        It means you need to get the table resurfaced because no matter what, a ball is gonna roll a bit different over that stained area than it would otherwise

            If I wasn’t on a short term lease rn I’d have bought a pool table, this place is like all living room, I could fit it. Like, if you did that at a bar pool table they’d tell you to stop playing poker on it, but also make you remove your drinks, and even if you switched to playing pool, that’s a two strike scenario before you’re kicked off the table generally. Pool tables ain’t cheap.

          I now feel extremely bad for my karate sparring partner from middle school now. Or more specifically her dad, who’s pool table probably had balls rolling differently on it after we sparred a few times.
