The most I ever saw was Jimmy Reid run eleven. We were running around together back then. But I'm sure there have been more by someone else. I bet Keith has run more than that somewhere along the line. He was the bar box Godzilla of the West Coast. Matlock has to have run a big number too.
Or did you say you were a b player?

i won the lag and broke and ran out the set on a guy in tap league. i was a 5 so it was a 6 something race. it was a new area and my first match or two. needless to say i went up. never played tap 9 before only apa. now none
Keither !!!!!
I talked to Keith a few months ago & he told me the last time he had a session earlier this year sometime.He ran two 11's & a 7...pretty darn sporty considering he never plays anymore & has switched his attention to poker..Hell I'd love just to have a 7 in my book..could never imagine that many in 1 session...I heard Scotty Townsend years back ran 2 sets of 9 back to back giving country calvin the 7..So 18 in a row is mighty impressive as well....Heard Paul Turner has twenty something once.

THe most I saw sun was 14 by Danny Medina years and years ago. I think he was playing Mario, but can't remember for sure.
I heard that Grady ran like 17 or 18 on the bar box one time.
I also heard of Matlock in a $5 ring game in Ponca City Ok, ran 22.
One thing I could promise though, nobody on this big planet would ever run 22 on me.

If it was a race to 23 and a guy broke and ran 22 consecutive games on me I would atleast strongly consider doing that
Works for me!
That would work for me! I think Ironman meant he would pull up before that kind of a shelling though. I had the eight made in the call pocket three times in a row the first time I played a guy. I wasn't planning to see that but one more time when we were playing by the game.

Consecutive racks
I asked David Matlock in person what his record was, and he told me he had run 28 consecutive racks. Never heard of anyone running more than that.
I believe it because David Matlock in his prime was really something.
I was the only person allowed to watch a 7 ahead match between David and Jr. Brown when David came to Wichita the first time and was young. Jr. Brown, who is quite a player himself, got 1 shot the whole set, and missed it, and David finished off the set for $700. This took place at the once famous
Mr. Lucky's in Wichita.
My own personal record, I ran 11 one time, and I have run 8 and 9 a few times, several 5 packs.

LMAO.
I was on accasions not so smart. I went off a few times. When I got my nose open and mad at myself, I would go off like rocket. More than once.
A few months ago I gave up too much weight playing 1-pocket and lost 14 games in a row playing for $50 a game. I was hot as a pistol at myself for that one. The bad thing is Ilost to a guy that there is no way I can ever get it back.
