In an air conditioned, pool room 50% is already sticky.

Yup.. when I had that issue I was lucky to have a french drain in that house. I hooked the tube to it so the water would drip in that and let it run all the time. I had no choice. I could dump that tub twice a day
Maintaining 50% RH indoors during a midwestern summer is good in my opinion.
I’ve got hygrometers running in both the house and detached pool room and they are steady 50% RH with AC set around 72/73F.
On the flipside winter gets considerably dry, and I actually need a humidifier in the pool room to keep the RH above 30%.
Ultimately, a 20% swing in humidity between summer/winter isn’t enough to negatively affect my level of play. It boils down to personal comfort.

Ok that's a bit high. Do you have a basement door? If you do there's a few things you can do at that opening.
I highly suggest stripping your basement walls and coating them in DryLok with two coats. Otherwise you'll need two dehumidifiers running non-stop during summer.
