Tuesday Night Result and a half
Tonight Cue Keepers and Breakers Alley went bananas in Vicki's Secret. That's really as close to good porn as many of us have been in the past year... Also be sure to check up on the stats posted by Bam right below this!
CKP_pain_purifies - BA_taalibulilm (W) - James got out to an early advantage in this one. Went for what could've been a dagger 3-rail bank on the 13 aiming for the top middle, JUST missed off the tip of the pocket. Chance for his BA counterpart to take advantage and get BA on the board early... Nah the game's gonna go on quite a bit longer. From there on it became a safety battle between the 2, which obviously favors the more skilled pain_purifies. Made a good cut on the 15 going all the way along the bottom 4th of a the table to the bottom left pocket, but couldn't leave a clean shot on either the 12 or 14. So he'd keep getting attempts at circus shots as taalibulilm would keep playing with very good patience. Unfortunately he tried to do too much in making his final 1ball, as he didn't leave a straight shot on the 8. He'd in turn go for the bank off the bottom rail to top riiiiiight... Not quite. James goes on to finish, and Cue Keepers are 1-0 on the MLP Season right? NOPE! He knocks the cueball home WITH the 8ball! And BA instead gets the dubya!
CKP_cha0tic_01 (W) - BA_laurena.mcilroy - Breakers trying to run off the momentum from that first game... Perhaps the guy BA WANTED to see here, but it's all a matter of whether or not laurena can keep it going. She had a couple chances early, but nothing doing. Sean would run into some slight trouble with moving his solids around the table, but was able to work around those problems when it mattered, and made some real key shots to tie the match up at 1.
CKP_ckpaa [Don] - BA_l3acknl3lack (W) - Prepare for a slow one. A lot of tapping, most of it did progress the game though. Wasn't a pathetic tap for the sake of tapping game. Don was able to play well and gain the advantage and, as a result, made a good run at the end to get to the 8. But the shot on the 8, even after taking his time on it... Wasn't even close. He missed it off the top rail, and l3acknl3lack got to the l3lack and finished it off, despite a very questionable shot on the 2ball, JUST tucking it into the bottom middle pocket. 2-1 BA the score here!
CKP_revenge_of_mr (W) - BA_nicole_smith48084 - I. Don't. Like. BA's. Chances. In. This. Game. Keepers bringing out the big gun now, Mick playing the role of stopper here, trying to tie the match up at 2. Nicole... Has her fair share of games. Over 4,000, with a +.500 win/loss record, so she at least has a chance. Almost knocks the 8 home early though. Obvious differences in styles... Nicole the more wreckless, unaware-of-8ball type, Mick the more patient, methodical player here. She came close a few times to making either the 8 or a key shot to give her a big advantage, but no dice. Mick would eventually go for it. Trying to squeeze the cueball by his 1, and run it along the bottom left rail to the lower left pocket. Nicole obviously unhappy with the nearly 4-5 minutes Mick took on the shot, and Mick ended up missing anyways. Now Nicole going for the winning run. She has a VERY good chance to pull this off! Easy combo into the bottom right, but a tough shot along the left rail... Makes it, but the cueball comes off the bottom middle pocket's lip and comes up to knock home the 8! And it's 2-2 just like that!
CKP_ckpaa44 [Cal] (W) - BA_lets.ro11 - This weird and wacky match continues with Cal trying to give CKP their first lead in the match. Cal would have a cuebank off the left rail and ALMOST ran the 15 along the bottom right rail into the nearby pocket. Not quite, though. Cal would get a 2nd chance at the 15, this time off the bottom rail into top right. This one he makes. But... Then he hangs the 12 in the top right pocket. lets.ro11... ro11s one home! 4ball off the top rail into bottom right! Then... He makes the 7, but the 8 goes around the table and in top left! So it's now 3-2 CKP!
CKP_ckpaa13 [Matt] - BA_im_just_jeremy (S) - Now CKP is on the hill, trying to clinch it is Matt aka o.wn4ge. Matt got stuck in the top right corner away from his final stripe, the red 11 ball. Jeremy would get ball in hand needing a win to save the match. Jeremy ALMOST knocked home the 8 early... But it stayed out long enough for him to send it home when he was supposed to. A rarity for this match. And this match is TIED at 3!
Game 7... CKP_hornypom (D) - BA_tw.inkie - Wow. What a match this has been. We've seen everything from drama, to early 8's, to near-misses, I mean this is one of the weirdest week 1 matches I can remember. Phil perhaps sets the tone early with a bank, hitting the 2ball off the top rail and into the bottom middle. Later in the match. Phil gets ball in hand, and flirts with the prospect of trying to break it all out and run. If he frees up his 3ball in the top right, he can certainly do so. No luck, and now Pommy gives it a try. gets to the 12, has to slice it across the table into the bottom left... GOT IT! 8ball goes next shot, and CKP escapes with the 4-3 win!
TPL-SS
SS_corn_please (W) - TPL_l3_o_s_s_lvl_a_n - I uh... Didn't see the game. But this made it 1-0 SS =/
SS_spanky_77_es (W) - TPL_n00b2003 - Well, MLP's "other" Spanky trying to give SS the 2-0 lead, n00b trying to tie it. Spanky got to the 8, couldn't bank it home. n00b's turn. He pulled off a lot of funky spin on a couple shots, but eventually missed. Spanky would go on a short while later to win, and make it 2-0 SS.
SS_Racer_1999 (W) - TPL_l3oyz_n_l3lue - Didn't see this one either, but Racer wins to make it THREE to nothing Straight Shots!
SS_e_n_cl_i_k_a_y - TPL_xxx_p0l.g0d_zzz (S) - I don't know if this is TPL being really bad, SS being really good, or both. But TPL needs 4 straight or they'll have one really disappointing start to their season. Slow game here, maybe what TPL needs to try and change the tempo of the match. He does win, it's now 3-1.
SS_lvlclovin (C) - TPL_x.l2aptol2 - SS leads 4-1, another game I missed due to watching the CKP-BA finale.
SS_young_smitty_614 - TPL_smooth_exhibitionist_shooter (W) - Smooth wins, makes it 4-2 SS.
SS_steven.rules - TPL_xllx_rob_xllx (W) - Aaand Rob wins to minimize the damage in game 7.
CKP_pain_purifies - BA_taalibulilm (W) - James got out to an early advantage in this one.
