Week Seven

Last weeks results:

Pool Fiction defeat Dead Strokes 5-0 - Well, not much to say here. Pool Fiction picked up a big win and set up a great match this week where they could possibly move within one game of first place, while Dead Strokes should hope this isn't the start of a free fall.

Break and Run defeat Sexy Poolerz  5-2 - Break and Run continue their dominance as they limited Catwomen and the rest of her super heroes to 2 wins.

Straight Shots defeat Freedom 5-4 - Close match but Straight Shots jump from last to a tie for 2nd, n what is shaping up to be a horrible conference beyond Miscues.

Miscues defeat Pool Dragonz 5-4 -With the win, Miscues open up a 3 game lead over second place and with only four games to go, a win this week and they clinch a playoff berth.

The MVP race that changes more then the view count on that Sammie blog:
pdz_XRANCIDX - 10-4
bnr_xlx_skill_xlx - 9-2
mc_underdogg_ - 8-3
pfn_spc_shogun - 7-4
sp_CatNapper_69 - 7-4

It's also safe to say bnr_Xx_APOCALIPSYS_xX has been eliminated from MVP contention with his stellar win %.

Monday @ 7pm - Miscues [5-1] @ Straight Shots [2-4]
If this was WSOP, this would have serious standing implications but while Miscues have carried over their success, Straight Shots have not. The Straight Shots crew have really cycled through players over the course of the season, and while they're still somehow in the thick of the race, if Shelle and Ben can start putting together dominant teams, then they have a great shot of winning it all, but until then, guess they'll just have to focus on running 1600 tournaments a day. For Miscues, they don't run 1600 tournaments, but it seems if you play them 1600 times you might win a few. A solid team that is very consistent, they can afford to goof off and have a bad night as each one of them is capable and probably have carried in the past, so carrying again in the future is no issue. This match really comes down to who Straight Shots bring to the table, if they can bring 5 of their top 7, I do feel they can win as Miscues are winning a lot of close ones they should be winning cleanly, but even when you're picking from a pool of 500, it's hard to pick 5 to beat Miscues.

Prediction - 5-4 Miscues

Tuesday @ 6pm - Pool Fiction [3-3] @ Break and Run [5-1]
Pool Fiction showed the hey-lets-lose-lots-vs-girls mentality was a coincidence when they defeated Chele and her girly boys, so they should have no issue against Dina and co. here, especially when there's a large chance they'll lean on Gus who hasn't had a great season so far. Pool Fiction haven't had an ideal start to the season, as they only sit 3-3 and that could partially be due to having no true stand out player. Sure Brian has notched 7 wins in 6 weeks, but he's also lost 4 times in 6 matches, and those 2 I believe were 5-0s. Kalpz has been great this season in his 4 appearances, but beyond that there hasn't been a true stand out that has helped push PFN over the top like seasons past. Break and Run have a few who can though, in Jordy, Ross and Gus, but depth is there main issue. If Pool Fiction are able to take 2 of those 3 out, it should be theirs, otherwise it'll be Break and Runs to lose. Knowing how Kerry is with big matches, expect no less then her best 5 there and a big win for her.

Prediction - 5-2 Pool Fiction

Wednesday @ 6pm - Dead Strokes @ Sexy Poolerz
Both sides are coming off big losses, and one will continue streaking towards the bottom while the other salvages their season and continues to stay in the hunt, so who will win? Again, it depends on who shows for Dead Strokes. Sexy Poolerz are a pretty consistent team in who they bring, and it really isn't a high-quality roster. Dead Strokes have the talent to beat them if they show, but if they don't the players they probably will bring are at risk of losing to a Sexy Poolerz squad who have shown to win when least expected. Looking at the conference, it's not a risky bet to say that it'll be these two battling it out for the final playoff spot as Pool Fiction should be able to stay above these two, but then again who knows, which makes this match all the more important.

Prediction - 5-3 Dead Strokes


Thursday @ 7pm - Pool Dragonz @ Freedom
Pool Dragonz were able to take Miscues to the ropes last week narrowly losing in the final game, while Freedom did the same to Straight Shots. The interesting thing for Freedom this week, they'll be without Travis, and by the looks of it Matt since he hasn't played in just about forever, leaving who to carry for Freedom? Ebs? Petey? Uh oh. Pool Dragonz don't vary in their roster much, and with MVP candidate DJ leading the way, Pool Dragonz are shaping up to not be as bad as everyone though. Sure they have a 2-4 record, but 21-26 overall shows how close they've been, and they still are technically tied for second in the conference, so a big win here could put them in great territory, and I do think they'll win, meaning Freedom will lose, so you know what that means.

Prediction - 5-4 Freedom
