As you all know, some really bad **** is going down in Haiti, which was already the poorest country in the western hemisphere apparently.

I usually forget or am too lazy to donate to these types of disasters, so i'm gunna force myself to do my bit by donating 100% of my winnings from my first 1000 hands played tomorrow, friday 15th, and hopefully i can encourage a load of you to do the same


Both Stars and FTP have announced they will match all donations 100% and send to the Red Cross, which is pretty cool - http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...ations-685108/

I also pledge to match anyone's winnings who joins me in the 1k hands tomorrow, up to $100 per person so you have even more reason to grind the 1k hands! Just post a screenshot of your graph/hem, and screenshot of the transfer to the Stars Haiti fund

If you really can't be arsed to grind, I point you towards veneer's cardrunners blog, whose bbv thread was deleted, or just do something of your own in some way - http://blogs.cardrunners.com/verneer...ted-1263477279


Make sure you bring out your ****ing A* game tomorrow, GL.

Who's in?

If you're gonna make posts about how selfish and unconcerned you are, dont post. Doing so just makes you look like a jackass.

Good to see that the poker community can get together to help those in need

Won't be able to get into this challenge but will contribute at FTP.

I would love to do this now, but am on a personal mission and have already given what I can.
But, after I meet my goals, if time remains, I will donate 1k or 1days worth of hands towards the cause. Have until Jan 31st to donate.

Who else is willing to hone their craft while supporting a good cause along with their comrades?

If you feel like 1k hands is too much to grind, or don't feel comfortable donating 100% of winnings if you have a huge day, then set a more realistic target like 500, or set a cap for what you will donate, eg $X or Y buyins, just make sure its not a pussy target
