I'm talking about raidalot (Talal Shakerchi).

If you don't know already he's one of the biggest donators to charity in the UK.
2013 £24m
https://www.cafonline.org/pdf/Sunday...FWEB040613.pdf
2014 £4.8m
https://www.cafonline.org/pdf/Sunday...WEB_160514.pdf
2015 £5.0m
https://www.cafonline.org/pdf/Sunday...cle-260415.pdf

So not only is he one of the best posters on 2+2 but he also a puts his money where his mouth is. Not all poker players are selfish arseholes.

I hope he wins the 500k tournament at Aria.

Am I a good person? Deep down, do I even really want to be a good person, or do I only want to seem like a good person so that people (including myself) will approve of me? Is there a difference? How do I ever actually know whether I’m bull****ting myself, morally speaking?

id donate a lot too if i was a born millionaire, never understood how charity giving = must be great person. unless you are completely devoid of intellect and incapable of making a rational thought.

His posts are very good but donating a very small % of your fortune does't make you a saint.

Agree his posts should get more love seems very switched on about whats good for the long term health of the game we love.

What's the background? Is he already wealthy or is he donating a portion of his winnings? My net worth is -100k and I gave five beggars $20 each today, worship me.

Seeing how far he is in the top list should give you an idea.

Worst places are like, wut?

"Joseph Lau £4,600m £6.0m 0.13"
"George Robinson £180m £0.2m 0 .11"

So you got 4 billion pound sitting around and donate 0.13% - now compare it to Talal who spent 30% of his money in 2013.

Wasn't dismissing anything just giving my opinion. Seems i was misinformed and if he truly did give a third of his fortune away then he probably deserves a knighthood.

All i said was people who are mega rich and give a small % of their fortune away doesn't make them saints. Its like me giving a homeless man a few £ which i have done on many occasions.

Good of you to quote only the first part of my post ignoring where i praised him.

Guess i shud of read the article probably and would of seen the % so my bad.

Sweet, never thought he'd be a 2+2 poster when I see him being talked about as a businessman in some super high roller TV coverage!

I didn't even know who he was outside of 2+2. I've always liked what he's posted on here in regards to making the game a better place for recreationals.

Best of luck.

Seriously Pete, shut up and go **** yourself. No one wants you to be posting here. Why don't you just get the **** out? You're pathetic and dumb. You're not funny at all. You have nothing interesting to say. Zero!

And if any of the mods want to give me an infraction please deal with this clown first, he's been tarding up mtt-c for ages and none of you has done anything despite probably dozens of reports.

This thread is ****ing awesome in comparison with your threads. When you make a thread I guess you want people to stay on topic and contribute? Well, you made the first reply and it was total shyte. And even if it wasnt a topic in your taste you could have just refrained from posting.
