Pledging $100 (shipped today) to split between the two charities equally, will make a larger donation if I bink something between now and the end of the year.

Not too much happening since losing a little back the other day...

I want to first and foremost thank BBZ for not only donating all of his profits for the last 10% of the year to charity, but also to raise awareness in terms of Poker players donating money to charity.

I feel like we, as poker players, do not contribute to society in a positive way, and I think a lot of us are overpaid considering the job we do.

For me personally, I don't think its fair for me to make as much as I do. I sometimes struggle with how much I make and it actually bothers me because I am making my money without benefiting society in a positive way.

That being said, I think its ok if I make this much as long as I make efforts to use my money in a non selfish / positive way. This is something I will be really focusing on in my life moving forward, and this is the starting point for that.

I will be donating 25% of my online december earnings to the following charitys, I will be going back to my hometown of Pittsburgh on December 22nd for the holidays so the time frame for my profits earned will be December 1st - December 22nd.

10% Brother's Brother Foundation
10% YMCA
5% BBZ Staking

I will be donating a minimum of $5,000 regardless of how I do.

I swap a lot in tournaments, so swaps coming in and going out will be included in my profit for December.

Glad to see Nick's post! Haven't updated in a few days as we've been swamped with the transition from Jae (Yugiohpro). He did a ton of work and can't say enough good things about him, needless to say we've had to adjust.

Here's an update on my results + or - a small amount from cash:

Still running good!

Hey,

Massive props for setting all of this up!

I'm currently playing pretty heavy to finish of my VPP goal for the year (400k) playing 18's. Happy to donate 5% of my profit at the end of the year. In a little bit of MU atm but hopefully that can change.

I also have a separate MTT deal for 55s-320s, I don't play a tonne of these MTTs, maybe 15-20 a week that i just mix in with SNGs. Of course this means i can be in MU for a loooong time. I am around $3k in MU atm, but happy to donate 5% of any profits on this too.

Haven't decided which charity yet, just finishing off a session so will have a look later on tonight.

Hope your heat continues!


Adam

Thanks that's awesome!! Good luck shipping some tournaments!

Donating 10% of dec also

After doing some research on what charities to donate to, have come up with the following 2 to split the money between.

http://www.dreamscometrue.uk.com/ - Local (ish) charity. Helps fund trips/days out/activities for terminally ill children from 2-21 who have a dream they want to fulfil.

http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/ - Charity that is looking to find a cure for parkinsons disease and also provides support and help for people effected.

Hoping more people come into this thread and donate.

Thanks,

Adam (CrazyCrusher)

Hopefully we get back to the run good!

Run good for the charities one time!

Wasn't meant to be! Win that an i'm 3/14 with double avg. Lost rest, jammed 9T into JJ and AQ. Oops.

Yeah the rest was probably as standard as this was Tournaments bring pretty annoying variance, staking's helped teach me that!!!

I've been swinging around this number for awhile, hopefully we catch a break to the upside!

Ugh bit painful to have gotten to +18k or so only to be back where I started...

http://gyazo.com/b2ae879d1111c650360d86703b57d173

Ok I lied, that wasn't painful... This is painful..

Just wanted to drop in and say that u are a true inspiration hope u crush this so hard cos u deserve it . I would like to donate myself but at this moment i can but i signed to volonteer this month in my local charity and i will be staying with my decision that i will donate 5% of all of my winnings in coming year to the Save the Children organization ofc i need to clear my make up but year is a long time.

Thanks boss!!! Little update:

http://gyazo.com/7483372e3ce8fb7a1141bdfafadaca89

We really need to catch some heat!!! Don't wanna end up losing money during this and only donating the $5k!!!

http://gyazo.com/35de690f0d12b1573b30541ac83428b0

And it looks like we finally got what I was looking for!!! Back above the $5k guarantee!!

sick thread man, gl on reaching your goal. stand up stuff.

Thanks, appreciate that!

This might be the nail in the coffin... 5k guarantee is looking like it may be the ceiling..

Looks like it's gonna be a sweat to see if we can clear that 5k hurdle!

loved reading this !
