Mr. Lucky,

Thanks for taking the time to visit and register.
This site has been growing for the last 10 months and has some fan-tastic reading and insights to the game of One Pocket.

Please feel free to recommend any avid One Pocket fan to visit and register.

One Pocket is growing again and there are more and more regional and national tournaments each year.

The Derby City Classic and this site have started a tradition with honoring the great One Pocket players of the past, present and hopefully the future.

If you'll notice, there are a lot of seasoned players that post here. I'm not saying they are Hall of Famers, but they do posess a vast knowledge of One Pocket and they continue to share and make great comments on this game within this forum.

Steve Booth (aka NHSteve and website master-reporter-interviewer-photojerk-and cook and bottle washer) is doing a GREAT job of driving all the positive issues (Hall of Fame, the induction dinners, Schedules, Interviews, history and tournament results from the 60s to present day)

I know everyone has enjoyed this site, I know I have and will for as long as I can.

Welcome aboard Phil, one of the things about One Pocket according to Melvin "Strawberry" Brooks is
"One Pocket is an epedemic and there ain't no cure" :)

Thanks for the kind words, Tom

Lucky, would your uncle be a player who's name we might recognize by any chance? The 60's and 70's of course correspond with the Jansco events at Johnston City and Stardust...
