There’s something inherently unpleasant about them playing poker on a pool table. You have both the space and the money for a pool table but you don’t have a regular table to sit at? Or you did but you’re choosing to play on the pool table? There’s no good explanation for something like this. Get a real table and stop living on the set of a manopshere YouTube channel.
-extremely light on decoration and what is there doesn’t match what I would expect thoseguys would like (a framed landscape painting, metal leaf statue)
-simultaneously clean but a mess due to beverage containers everywhere. The guys can’t have have occupied this space for more than 72 hours
Also GET YOUR FUCKING DRINKS OFF OF THE FELT! This makes me feel like they aren't using it as a pool table, which is a shame cause pool is way more fun than poker. And I like playing poker
I think it's practical in a way. The pool table surface is similar to that of a poker table. I imagine it's also higher than a regular table which makes it easier to quickly check under your cards.
It means you need to get the table resurfaced because no matter what, a ball is gonna roll a bit different over that stained area than it would otherwise
If I wasn't on a short term lease rn I'd have bought a pool table, this place is like all living room, I could fit it. Like, if you did that at a bar pool table they'd tell you to stop playing poker on it, but also make you remove your drinks, and even if you switched to playing pool, that's a two strike scenario before you're kicked off the table generally. Pool tables ain't cheap.
I now feel extremely bad for my karate sparring partner from middle school now. Or more specifically her dad, who's pool table probably had balls rolling differently on it after we sparred a few times.

I would guess it’s an AirBnB:

Looking at it, I'd guess that it's an apartment complex clubhouse for most of the same reasons.
Just some dudes rocking while their parents are out of town

It’s practical until someone inevitably spills a beer and you have to clean it out of the felt.

This is what I’m saying! You can’t just treat a pool table like your goddamn kitchen counter.

We had an old pool table once because a friend was just giving it away. Almost never used it for pool, but it did get a lot of board game use.
