    International Angelman Day: SBR Poker Charity Tournament
    Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare disorder which presently has no cure. Symptoms include developmental delays, no or minimal use of words, seizures, balance disorder and other serious conditions.

    SBR Pro member BIGDAY and his wife MMAChicka have a young daughter with AS (video below). It is our hope that we can raise awareness and drive fundraising to support the research and an eventual cure for Angelman.

                  Quality work SBR. Learned about Angelman from MMA @ the bash. Never heard of it before that but it's definitely a worthy cause! Hope there's a great turnout!

                                            Why pro only? I'd snap buy in the 200 even though I don't play here during the weekends and wouldn't make this date. I'm sure others would want to participate too. Seems like the more buy ins the better in this case.

                                                awesome cause. Will be in this for sure. May need a small loan but no way one can miss this!


                                                Hope all poker players join this so we send a nice check to them.

                                                    very worthy cause..... even if I to borrow the pts, I will get in... and that's a high probability given that no hand I've had in trnies lately has held up post-flop......... my higher kicker when flopping top pair has repeatedly been sucked out on by the 20% dog pairing up his lesser kicker on the river to beat me......

                                                    also, good to know we can set up trnys for charitable causes.......... I may promote one next month for sbr's members who are in pathetic shape....... wussywaves immediately comes to mind..... we can donate the buyins to set up a fund for all the people he screwed over via the 18thHole "Sportsbook", or perhaps to donate to the free clinic he'll be seeing later this week to clear up the std's contracted in the D.R. (to help defray the extreme costs of the various treatments he'll be receiving), or even to get him some psychological care to help him deal with his fear of interacting with people at social gatherings -- or maybe his pathological lying -- or his mental addiction to whoremongering..........

                                                        One of the pros being a member of the SBR forum, supporting worthy causes.

                                                          Will certainly sign up to support the cause. Not sure if I will make the event as me and the wife will be out of town that weekend for Valentines Day. Hopefully we will be home be the start of the tourney though.

                                                              Thanks man. I appreciate this and as my way of paying that forward, all pts will be donated to another charity if I place unless SBR starts to offer donations to this one in the store.

I may promote one next month for sbr's members who are in pathetic shape....... wussywaves immediately comes to mind..... we can donate the buyins to set up a fund for all the people he screwed over via the 18thHole "Sportsbook", or perhaps to donate to the free clinic he'll be seeing later this week to clear up the std's contracted in the D.R. (to help defray the extreme costs of the various treatments he'll be receiving), or even to get him some psychological care to help him deal with his fear of interacting with people at social gatherings -- or maybe his pathological lying -- or his mental addiction to whoremongering..........
