I'm ripping off my nasty carpet and talked to my contractor friend and she said to paint the plywood with a water based opaque deck stain. She mentioned the brand Fortune. Then you seal it with a gloss or whatever finish. Do not wet the plywood, it needs to be cleaned without getting it wet. I'll let you know how it works. The cheapest paint-grade plywood would be BC grade. It's smooth finished on one side only. If you need something nicer, you can go with any smooth plywood. Check for divots, or "footballs" (the plugs they use to fix divots found at the plant).

What kind of paint should be used on the sides of a pool table?
Most pool tables have surfaces that do not require paint. The table sides are not subjected to any wear, so the actual finish and paint becomes a matter of how much effort you plan to put into it. If the table is wood, the wood finish is the best, so use of a paint indicates a quick and dirty finish, which also means that the type of paint doesn't matter. If the sides are any other type of surface, an acrylic enamel will be long lasting and provide a nice finish.
