I played a lot of pool on table 6 in Arlington Texas.
A old gold crown with the corner sag as is so common.
Simonis cloth and a butchered triple shim job made for a couple of pockets that required "special" planning if you wanted any chance of getting a ball in them. A bad roll wouldnt allow babying shots. Shims that stuck out from the rail further reduced the pocket openings. A jag from shims not stacked correctly made the pockets even more contrary.
So why be thankful?
Well that table taught me how to go around the table to move those balls to a position where they at least stood a chance of going. Position play which still is needed all the time.
Anyone else learn a valueable lesson playing on substandard equipment ?
