How small of a pool table is not a pool table anymore?

As of now the largest (25 +- tables) and best room in this area (HIGH POCKETS) was open from 11am until whenever (pre covid)
since covid hours have fluctuated as local guide lines have been fluid
Gotcha yeah my pool room has always been open at 4 pm. Even pre covid.
Went to Roanoke Va back few years ago to Guys And Dolls Billards, There was a new law in Ronoake about smoking in public buildings. I sat in my car a few minuets to finish my camel and went on inside. Everyone in the place was smoking. Went over to see a friend named Ollie who ran the place, he must have been in his late 70's by then and asked how they had gotten by the new laws. He pointed over to a door which went into a closet with a glass window on it, Inside the closet was a small card table with a 6 inch by 12 inch pool table on it along with cues that were operated with springs,,along with a exhaust fan and added air conditioning. The law stated, that as long as there was separate areas for players with heating and air ,that was all that needed to be met to be legal. So a 6 X 12 Inch Table Is In The Right Time And Place ,Big Enough ..LOL

Visible holes? Too easy. I like tight pockets.
Around here (ohio) they just make the pool hall a private club and charge 5$ a year membership and smoking is allowed.
OHIO OR BUST!11
Adam,Are you playing mostly at The Rack or High Pockets? In about 4 weeks we'll have had our second shot and will experience freedom!
For many years I felt like real pool was only played on tables that were 4 x 8 or above. The bar tables of that era were all scaled down simulations of a real pool table imo back then, and only toys by comparison. Then along came the Diamond 3 1/2 x 7 table and finally we had real pool on a bar box.
Of course, like so many on here I can remember playing on toy pool tables as a kid, the ones with little bitty balls and tiny cues. They were fun toys to play on when you were six or seven years old, but I outgrew those by age nine.

That is a great combination of features. The pocket size and cloth grain have doubled the difficulty making playing a fun challenge.
Funny story I had a pool table child game thing. My dad got mad at me cause I broke a pool stick and sharped one end into a stake so I could kill vampires with it.
It's not a great table for 9-ball, but I think it is great fun for full rack games
I still wonder how crazy a straight pool rack would be if we had Mike make us one of the 45s

This statement also brings into question "is APA pool"? Personally a game of 8 ball with bastardized slop and foul rules is not real pool...and 9 ball where you can lose every rack and win a match because of ball count is not pool either.
