OnePocket.org 5th Annual Members Only Tournament

We had a highly competitive field of 24 players at the classic poolroom Southaven Recreation, just south of Memphis Tennessee in Southaven Mississippi. After missing our 2020 MOT due to Covid closure, players were ready to go, and those who had been before were especially eager to return to the great southern hospitality found at the “Rec”. Since our last regional tournament at the Rec, popular owner Bill Rowsy had retired and sold the room to new owners Andy and Nicky Warren. The Rec also generously added all $600 of the green fees...

Buffalos 2021

Buffalos 2021

To put it simply, Buffalo’s means big action. We’ve heard of legendary high action rooms of the past – “The Rack” in Detroit, Cochran’s in San Francisco in the 60’s, Lambert’s in Texas. All those rooms are long gone, along with their unbelievable pool gambling action. Well guess what, that amazing action is happening 24/7 right here, right now at the world famous Buffalo’s Billiards in New Orleans. Owner James Leone caters to the players to the Nth degree, and the top players gather here, in droves – especially for the week leading up...

Marshall 'Tuscaloosa Squirrel' Carpenter passes

Marshall ‘Tuscaloosa Squirrel’ Carpenter passes

Marshall Carpenter was born in February 9, 1928 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He began going into the poolrooms as a kid selling peanuts, which led to his nickname, ‘The Tuscaloosa Squirrel’. Squirrel quickly took a liking to the game, and once it got to the point he could beat everybody locally, he began to travel. Squirrel spent about 25 years playing pool on the road, including time with ‘Minnesota Fats’, ‘Rags’ Fitzpatrick and Eddie Taylor. The game of One Pocket became his specialty. He and Eddie Taylor became good friends back in the mid-fifties,...

Covid-19 and OnePocket.org, MOT canceled!

An open letter to all One Pocket players, members and interested parties Obviously, Covid-19 is wreaking havoc in the pool world, just as it is in every other walk of life.

The first and most important thing I want to say is that I hope and pray everyone stays as safe as possible and gets through this crisis only the stronger for it. For now, our Hall...
