Platon for flooring?

I am in the middle of a basement remodel and have decided to put down a laminate flooring. My basement floor is fairly level, a few dips here and there. There is going to be an L shaped bar and my 8 foot slate pool table on it. I have been doing some research on Platon Foundation Protector. They say it is a suitable underlayment for a laminate floor. It creates an air pocket and brings the floor to the same temperature as the room instead of the ground. I was wondering if anyone has used Platon for an underlayment and if it would be ok under my pool table. It says it has a crushing strength of 1000 lb/sq in. My pool table weighs about a 1000 lbs, so I think I will be ok there. Anyways any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to their website: Platon - Home - Foundation Protector

Platon is the air-gap waterproofing system that is effective for ALL types of foundations. It's a tough, dimpled, 24-mil high-density polyethylene wrap that seals out water and bridges inevitable foundation cracks (1/4"+) making foundation leaks a thing of the past.
