    Another St. Jude's drive

    I will be contributing 1/3 this time.

    For every 2 points sent, one point will be added by me.

    It's up to you how many donations are made.

    I am willing to make up to 12 total.

    This will run until Thursday at midnight. On Friday morning, I will tally it up and make the donations.

    At 150 now, almost halfway to the first one.


    Also if we wind up in between donations, I will add up to 100 to bring it up to an even donation amount.

    I need to have my own benefit I think!


    By the way, do you guys really think that 100% of these donations really go to the charity? How would we know anyway?

    I will donate 10% of whatever I win in points today up to 500 to this. Do they provide proof of donation? I hate to even ask but this is a friggen gambling forum.

    Don't fall into PO69 level cynicism. We don't even need to wonder for a moment if SBR steal charity donations.

    Opti it's a friggen gambling forum. Theres always call for hesitancy in this environment. I was thinking i might be better served buying a gift card and giving it directly to the animal rescue organization for which I volunteer. Smaller group and probably see more direct benefit. But I'll bite here too if you guys think I'm dumb for asking the question.

    I didn't think you were dumb at all Tat. I probably should have replied to PO69s comment directly, but didn't as he is expected to be the type of cynical ass that would come into a thread like this and try and derail it just for the entertainment. Plus I didn't think anyone else would actually think it.

    If PO69 or anyone else really think SBR might be stealing charity donations, and genuinely give a rats ass, go start your own thread about it. Or just don't donate here. No need to try and turn a positive thread into yet another negative one.

    I just asked if they showed you something for their donation. Wasn't as negative as you're filtering it. Po69 has zero intention of donating to anyone ever. I volunteer at 2 places and understand that high level donations need to be scrutinized sometimes.

    No worries. I sent my pts. Will continue to send at least 5-10 percent of net pt profits until Yisman is done with this

    What about the around $500 in cash that I have given away at this forum?????? What about the around $800 in cash that I have given away at EOG? Some of those posters paid it forward as well. Sure maybe they didnt give it out to charity, but they had their own giveaways as well.


    But I have given out cold hard cash at betjamaica and 5Dimes on multiple occassions here on SBR. I actually only stopped because the moderators said that I wasnt allowed to cut out a few posters who couldnt participate in my contests.

    So tatddy, what have you ever give away on these forums???

    Save it po. I don't think you want to put your moral fiber up to battle. Save the battles for things you are good at. You're a great capper and solid poker player.

    Well I dont like being told that I am not generous with other posters. Sure I dont have any points to give out, but I have given out the equivalent of 10,000 points in cash to a few posters here at SBR and that doesnt even count the cash that i gave at EOG.


    Sure some told me that I was stupid for having those giveaways and I sort of agree with them. But I have done it in the past and will gladly do it again.


    I like St Judes. My daughter had to spend 2 weeks at Texas Childrens Hospital when she was 6 years old. She has a very rare syndrome and was paralyzed for a while. But now she is fine and an anonymous donor paid 25% of our $119,000 bill for the 2 weeks. So I pay it forward myself to guys around here

    there was never a charity donation badge. The only badge ever given out was for playing in a charity poker tournament last year and the donation there was very small, and there was a prize pool for the tournament as well.

    maybe they give one if you go pro via a charity? I don't know. I've never seen that badge. The only one I've ever seen was the Doctors Without Borders for playing poker on some Saturday a while back.

    986 points collected.

    493 added by me. That makes the pot 1,479. Each donation costs 325.

    So we're in between donations. 1,625 needed to get to 5. Who wants to finish it up? I'll keep matching.
