    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.



    International Angelman Day: SBR Poker Charity Tournament

    To reserve a seat, log into the SBR Poker client and buy-in to the event with 200 points.
    For each buy-in, SBR will donate $20 to CureAngelman.org. A list of donors as well as an invoice of the payment will be posted once the event concludes. All users will be given custom badges to reflect their generosity at the conclusion of the event.

    Event date: Sunday, February 15 @ 5:00PM ET

    1st. 1,000 betpoints

    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.

    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..........

    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.

    Jesus man.... There's not one thread you can't not spew your utter Bull $hit over another poster? I guess the 40 other threads you insult Waves aren't enough.

    Great cause Sbr. Anyway we can make our pro renual donation for this as opposed to Make a Wish?
