Pocket billiard tables come in different sizes, typically referred to as 9-foot, 8-foot, or 7-foot tables. In all cases, the playing surface (the dimensions between the noses of the cushions) is rectangular with a 2:1 ratio. For a 9-foot table, the playing surface measures 100 inches by 50 inches with a 1/8th inch margin of error for either dimension. For an 8-foot table, the playing surface measures 92 inches by 46 inches, again with a 1/8th inch margin of error for either dimension. These are the only two sizes authorized for tournament play by the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA). The playing surface for a 7-foot table is 76 inches by 38 inches.

I play every day. It's a good way for me to clear my head. Some days I can't miss a shot. Some days quite the opposite.

I like playing straight pool on a 9 foot table. With my Meucci cue.
I used to go to this place where all these old men used to play "golf" on a 14 foot table! There would frequently be 15 guys in the game, and $20 a head. Games would last for fucking hours. Last person to shoot before the winner had to pay the table time.
These old crusties used to wear little waitresses aprons, to keep their chalk in, and to keep the front of their pants from getting messed, leaning over a pool table all day.

My roommates and I use to go this this one bar everyday after work. It had 2 tables in the back and it was never crowded. We would always be guaranteed one of them or be able to beat whoever was playing off the table. One day we walked in and all the walls where painted pastel, sort of remodeled and cleaned up and had a huge wall of video screens playing techno music with lots of men dancing in them. It had turned into a ghey dance club over the weekend! We kept going there to play pool for a few more months because it was still uncrowded and close to our apt.

My friends tell stories of my billiard heroics when I'm so drunk I can't stand without support. Things like running consecutive tables and such. I don't remember these times though. I generally play poorly with the occasional good couple of shots.
