Well I'll be damned. a video of the elusive (apparently a flop) movie that Fats was a big part of, called The Player, has shown up on Youtube! Here you go... but don't expect a masterpiece lol

Well I’ll be damned — up and coming star player Savannah Easton played in the US Open One Pocket! If she is taking a liking to the game it is a very good thing for the future of One Pocket!! So I took this screen shot in the hill-hill game with the ball count 5-5. Vikram has put Savannah in a...

Last night there was a 1B1P tournament as a lead in to the the McDermott Classic weekend only an hour and a half from me. I used some book money to add $l1000 sponsorship to their One Pocket — this “mini” and a 5000 added main One Pocket event that starts today. Beau Powers, the local TD running...

I was looking through an old pool notebook of mine and I had an end game practice with just one ball and the cue ball on the table — so it was 1B1P. But the catch was, when one of you scores the ball, the opponent places a new object ball wherever they want on the table and whoever scored keeps...

It's Chip's shot, all 15 balls on the table. Alex owes 4; Chip is even. Sorry this is my only view (I'm not the Ghost :oops:)

In light of the "Spanish rules" recently used in the DCC PoolActionTV room, I have updated the 1B1P rules to include that option: One Ball One Pocket An abbreviated form of One Pocket, beginning with just one object ball on the table. The Game: Begin with one ball frozen to the center of the...

Announced by Alex Lely today: Onepocket.org in Hague5, Netherlands On September 6/7/8 , the 3rd annual Onepocket.org Jamboree in Hague 5, the Netherlands We are hoping to welcome last years’ winners Steve Booth (1B1P) and Benjamin Baier (main event) back to the Hague just as all the other...

We have the greenlight to hold an MOT at the new Buffalo’s 3 location in Chalmette, I believe about 20 minutes from Buffalo’s on Bloomfield. They have agreed to open at 10 AM for the days we would like to hold our tournament, and that enables us to start early each day, but wrap up each day...

.... that I took so long to approve your membership. Holidays are bad enough but we also had a failed basement drainage flood, coming at the worst time with painters in our living room and dining room so a whole bunch of stuff was temporarily on the basement floor -- where it never would be...

I must have missed this. Freddy the Beard must be smiling down upon seeing this -- I have the hour long interview cued up to where he talks a little about learning to play One Pocket

It's not too late!! Perfect gift for One Pocket players, even if that One Pocket player is you!! Just drop a little bitty hint, because chances are someone who loves you is looking right now for a good gift idea for you...

We are all set for our 2024 Annual MOT at Railyard Billiards, Louisville, Ky. Dates for the main event are April 5-6-7, with a mini (most likely Banks) on Thursday April 4th -- the night before our MOT kicks off. The MOT is $100 entry plus $20 greens fee. All payment options are posted in the...

First off this was a real nice event, with $5000 added by Diamond Billiards and Joe Long and only a $200 entry, so it attracted a good mix with a handful of top pros and the rest of the 34 player field made up of solid shortstops and amateur players. Jason Hill, the Buffalo’s tournament...

The first printing of my new book, The Art of One Pocket is in my hands and I can start taking orders. This is NOT the member's edition (that will be a couple more weeks), but it is the book, complete and including about 35 player photos (some pros and some members in fact). The book is 294...

With so many of our OnePocket.org members wanting to hit Buffalo's -- always the week leading up to Memorial Day weekend -- our earlier voter selected date of first weekend in June no long seems like a good idea. My thoughts are we want to avoid certain main events, but we can never of course...

The idea was to include as many of our members who I have a photo of in this special edition, so it would be kind of a combination One Pocket book and onepocket.org "yearbook". This is the exact same written and diagram book content as The Art of One Pocket -- only the photos have been changed...

I've uploaded a whole bunch of tournament photos to a gallery on my pool photography website poolinaction.com, that you can browse here: https://www.poolinaction.com/2023-Tournaments/2nd-Hague5-One-Pocket The way the table lighting is set up at Hague 5 there was a central area of 4 tables all...

Many of you know I’ve had a One Pocket book in the works for a very loooong time. Well now with my semi-retirement from work I’ve finally got it done! It’s intended as kind of a text book for learning the game, but with an unabashed love for the game as the over arching point of view. It’s close...

Our MOT elder statesman, HOF'er Gentleman John Henderson, who cashed in this tough field at 83 years old! From Chicago, Johnnytronic, who may not have cashed in the tournament, but he did just fine out there in CA :p 4th place finisher, Preacher Ronn Rutan, who made one of the finest...
