Tuesday Picks
Absolute Finest @ LuckyPool - LKP can win big without Jenn...and with her they're so much better. The only thing unsettling about LuckyPool is their reason for not playing Bearskins any time in the regular season, they can't get a team two nights in a week...If they have a match on a bad night, they can get swamped. AbsoluteFinest have picked up z25 from Regs, who will be a pretty good game 2-4 player in this match if he shows and is eligible. But I'm gonna blow the same horn I have every week: RvDBLADE and Derek have been seemingly unstoppable in those match-changing moments. But there's 2 other big guys that haven't got quite as much mention: Goodbye Sober Dayz, and SmokeKenny whose name isn't Kenny. They're excellent mid-match players, and LuckyPool has to really think about who to take on those big 4, and 5 if z25 does play. LuckyPool can beat AF, but I don't think it'll happen, AF should win 4-3, but this is LuckyPool, watch, another 5-2 result. Just watch =\ AF 5-2.
ElitePool @ UnitedPool - ElitePool has been making a few moves so far this week, taking Scotty from SS/PFN on his final switch, and La Prieta of BlackSilver. Scott as far as I know is the better of the two choices, guy's 4-0 on the season, plays well, usually knows what he's doing, just a good all-around player. But ElitePool's biggest setback: Some of their players are against safeties, or against safetying when you have a shot. You run 6 or 7 balls and miss, if you're against anyone halfway decent, you're toast. UnitedPool...UP has good overall players like GodsAccess, Ketan, Badking, gooner's fairly good, but someone who really had a good game last week, and thank god he didn't have that kind of game against last week's BBM team...Jeez. Banked CKP off the table in UP's loss. I think these two teams are very equal, but I think UnitedPool has more quality players than ElitePool does frankly. Don't be surprised if I'm wrong, but I think Yoonyetid Poolle will win over EleetPoolle 4-3.
BlackSilver @ PoolMasters - ...BS can beat PM. They can reasonably beat most of the teams in the National League. They got their first win last week, but you know what? There's a reason PM are NUMBER ONE in the Big League Tour Standings with only ONE tourney victory. They know how to flat-out play and do it well. The biggest thing PM has had to do in the past few days and I hope they did: Convince bencoggon to continue playing. What happened with this mirkwood hustler business was stupid, and ben needs to understand not everyone does that stuff. BlackSilver especially, and Lisa doesn't let jackoffs on her team. Jumping back and forth here, BS has two players really working especially hard on their team: Crypt and Monkey. They've been both very consistent this season, as has hero 23. Also, Victor may play. Most people remember the blondeh business, if he comes in and plays, he's very capable of winning in the 3-5 slot. PM has Ben who again I do hope plays because he has really good table awareness, Crazy Que, Jimvan, Blue as a good early gamer, I mean these teams are actually quite evenly matched. I think it all comes down to the captains in this one. Who plays and when? I think PoolMasters win that battle, and come out 4-3, but do not be surprised if BlakSilver starts heating up, because they're quite capable of an 8 or 9-win season, but again as much as i wanna see BS come out of nowhere with win after win, I've gotta go with what I think and go 4-3 or 5-2 PoolMasters.
