Win yourself a Halo

Hows about a regular charity based tournament with 20% of the prizepool going to the charity of choice of the eventual winner.

It doesn't have to be big money, Say, £5.00+50 with £1 going to charity and the rest making up the prizepool. It would make everyone feel a bit better and earn a halo for the winner.

    Piffle!

    Some of the most talented poker players have been giving and playing for charity for years.
    Including me. Never heard of P4C?

    lol not sure why anyone would vote no on any of these, unless it's changing the format of an existing event.

    This is prob one of the best ones, if you don't like it you just don't play it, rather than trying to stop it altogether!

    Bump.






    Sorry couldn't resist ................. and it is for charity  :o)

    If, by any chance, this should win, I think the entry fee for whatever it wins should be the first to go to charity - Save the Children would be good if that's possible. :o)

    Emotional blackmail FTW.
