I've watched pros play on some tables that are so tight, that even they could rarely break and run out very often.
To me, that is no fun to watch...much less play on similar tables.
It is pretty much a "given" that the "better" player will "usually" win, no matter how the table plays, but it is much more fun "drowning" someone when you can run pack, after pack, on them. Your opponent may be able to run packs, too, but, the "better" player should still prevail.
When tables are "opened up" a bit, games go faster, and you can play longer sets in the same amount of time...assuming you aren't playing a "pool scientist" who "slow plays", no matter what the circumstances are.
