got a pub table at home, and you will possibly surprised to learn that there are 2 different sizes of 6 foot tables
i've got the smaller one but i've also got the smaller pockets
as for cues, you can use the fat tipped one for the break (this shuld have plenty of weght to it at the bottom end) and s amller tipped one for the actual shots
so look for a combination of cues

also, the ones that split down the middle tend to be mroe prone to getting bent than the ones that slipt about 2/3rds of the way down
