I like practicing on a 10 ft table, but they are about 0 fun to actually play a match on. To that end I prefer 9 ft tables.
 
I first started on 9' tables. The ones that I started on had those 5" pockets but now I prefer 4.5" pockets with the "pro-cut."
The room that I frequented the most had a couple of 10' snooker tables that I played on occasionally. If I wanted to make that long 12 minute drive I could play on 'Big Bertha', the 12' snooker table at The Billiard Palace.
 
To me the game is meant to be played on a nine footer, anything else is a bastardization of the original game to suit one's needs. Also, pockets should be standardize. Can you imagine basketball with different size rims and or what many of us wish for golf with larger or smaller holes. :eek:
 
Depends. If its a serious game then a 9 footer.
If I'm just messing around for free or w/ friends I like
And 8 footer cause i run out a lot more and feel like King Kong.
 
Rare?

I was at a dive type pool hall last year on the North side of Portland killing some time and they had a 10 footer on the paying side (the free side had a bunch of kids). I'll try and track it down and PM you.

9-footer with tight pockets (I wish we had a table with 4" or 3-7/8" pockets round here). I'd love to try a 10-footer as proposed by Earl S., but don't know if there is even a place on the west coast that has a 10-footer... Pretty sure we don't have one here up north.

I wish I had a 9', but for now I am playing most of my pool on my 8' in the basement.
 
The nine foot pool table seems more natural, to me, especially when it's sitting among several other nine foot tables. :)
 
Having learn'd on a little 10 foot table with real buckets it seams natural. Nothing like long green.

No oversize 8' either. Since I mostly play/practice at home and I have a real nice big 8', that's my choice. It plays enough like a nine footer that I don't really notice the small size difference when I play on a nine.
 
9 x 4 1/2. I like Bruswick GC as much as the next man, but I prefer a tight pocket Diamond 100 to 1.
 
8 foot is what I have at the house and I'm just happy to have a table. My favorite tables to play on are Diamond bar boxes by far. I've played some of my best pool on those.I like them in tournaments especially against players that are used to playing on Valleys. I don't like valley bar boxes or anything similar to them...they aren't as good, period.
