Because its not genuine... its giving for the occasion, giving in order to play in a poker tournament to have fun etc... surely it would be better for Sky to donate the running costs straight to charity if people were really this 'pure'? Posted by BlackFish3
please - stop digging a hole, sky are not involved in this thread, they dont have to do anything, the initial thread wanted a poker tourny with proceeds to charity (children in need) you really think all the people giving to charity are 'pure' and only give ' once a year' if it pleases you i will pay your £1 for the tourny ( this is not flippant) to make sure it starts tomorrow
EXELLENT IDEA I WOULD BE IN. IN REPLY YES IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE ALL GAVE TO CHARITY REGULARLY BUT MANY MORE PEOPLE WOULD PLAY IF THERE WAS A PRIZE IT MIGHT NOT BE RIGHT OR RIGHT ON BUT ITS HOW THE WORLD WORKS. WE HATE WRITING/DELIVERING XMAS CARDS SO TO GET OUT OF IT WE GIVE THE MONEY (PROBABLY MORE) TO CHARITY IF THAT MORALY WRONG FINE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THE CHARITYS STILL GETTING THE MONEY AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS
Great idea - don't think there should be prize money involved though - poss a prize from Sky may get people more willing to join - don't you have tournemants that you all meet up - that could be a prize, and perhaps a fantasy named trophy to be played for annually - just a thought
Heyyy very good idea. It would be alot easier to enter a tourny to give money rather than ringing up, sending money in etc (u can tell ive never done it). I buy poppies though! haha and stuff like that when i see people with them money box things and sooties and stuff. If I could help by playing poker then its a cracking idea. Even if theres only 10 runners it helps doesnt it? ...
Tourny itself, I would end up trippled up after 10 minutes, or out, but i spose thats not the point haha.
Hi, i know this is pretty short notice. However i thought we could possibly create a children in need tourny? Give something to the people less fortunate to us, even if it only the odd 50 or so pound. Idea was. 1/2 Pound tourny. No prizes, just for fun. Or if Sky also feel generous winner could receive entry to the open or primo. If there's charitable people out there, why not give money through enjoyment? Posted by HartshorN
My mates called up said if i wanted to go to his for a game so im not gonna be about to play, but will enter it to donate and will just be AFK, if that goes ahead of course.
