AZB King!

Looks like there is some more AZB King Action!

Luxury and I will be playing a race to 7 9-Ball (9 only counts as the last ball on table). At JJ's Bar and Grill in Kent, Washington (State), Across HW 99 from Highline Community College at 7:30pm.

As for speed, I am a TAP 4 and I believe he is either a 5-6 or maybe a 7. (that's Washington TAP, equivalent to about a 3 and 4-5 respectively in any East Coast, Middle America TAP league. IMHO)

What speed is a TAP 4? Please say what you think would be average B&R's in a race to 9 for a TAP 4 and a TAP 7?

mmm, I couldn't tell you, umm... I don't really know, put it this way, in TAP if Luxury is a 7 he would have to give me 3 games on the wire, I would race to 4 and he would race to 7. Basically he would have to give me the difference in our ratings. So if he is a 6 he would give me 2 games on the wire, etc. I can only estimate what his actual rating is based off of the current TAP standings at www.tapleague.com for Thursday nights. It unfortunetly doesn't give me his actual rating. In straight pool my high run is 8 if that tells you anything :).

Hell, this is going to be fun, even if I do get shut out!

But if I somehow manage to win this, I gotta bone up on my 8-ball for a title defense!

Props to rcarson for having the guts to go heads up against anyone in Wa for the title and $50. I am not a 7 which is the highest rating but I am a 6 so he will have his work cut out for him playing a race to 7 heads up.

However I don't feel bad taking this action as I was willing to play him heads up without knowing who he was. Not to mention that if I win the $50 I will have to give it right back to any king challenger who is a b player or above.

You know, without having met, there's just no way to absolutely sure is there? However, I very seriously doubt that you'll get shut out. :D

I'm looking forward to playing and good luck!

This will be fun!

P.S. I see Beetle in here too. $300 a man is $900 for the winner thus far. Can we get anyone else? We could all choose a "fair" location. Cory_In_DC, are you up? Gunnslinger are you up? 8 Ball Rat? Myron? Rick_In_VA? Enough people play and we could have a King of the AZ Mid-Atlantic and then a 2nd place title.....Prince of the AZ Mid-Atlantic.

Jeez, $300!?! This is getting expensive. Time to crawl back under my rock!!!
 
Well I'm typing this from my iPhone cuz we just finished our king match for Washington. Luxury vs RCarson went hill hill with $50 posted from each of us. Robert is a perfect gentleman and has a great game. I had to bank the 8 and make the 9 in a small side pocket for the cheese and the title. I loved every minute of it and I think this is a great idea.

Luxury is currently the King of Washington and well deserved. Again we went hill-hill and it was very good out on Luxury's part. I think this was the first "AZB King" challenge match. I know that washington isn't necessarily known as a "pool" state but we do have some great players here. I am curious to see who will challenge Luxury in our states next AZB King challenge. I am sure that some great match-ups will come from these AZB King challenges in other states/regions. I wish I would have brought my video camera to tape our match. It would have been nice to share with everyone for sure.
 
Just as a reminder to anyone who is interested in doing this, the "Action Room" forum has a lot more room and worked well for me.

Update:

I remain the King.


My house, tomorrow, anytime. Any game except 1-pocket & straight pool. If you win, I'll also pay your gas money.

Sorry, I can't win at a neutral location....:cool:
and probably not at my house either
 
Posers vs. the real deal.

Already been challenged. :)

Still working out specific date/time, but it may be this Friday, 6PM at Lucky's.

The challenger is Tanner Pruess, so it's going to be a VERY tough match for me. But I will play my best and see what happens. :)

We will be playing race to 9, 9 ball on a 9' Diamond Pro. Wow. lots'a 9s.
