A Modest Proposal

[peterchi]

If any people are feeling particularly masochistic and generous, we could do a 2+2 ADHOC DAY FOR CHARITY.

!!!

ehh??

...sorry i'm too fresh out of college and have memories of dance marathon and that sort of craziness...

seriously though, i think it would be cool if you did something like select a day in advance, start a thread here on that day so people select any hour out of the day, play their hour and post their hour-long results and selected charity on that thread. so it'd be like a big party kinda.

just a thought. it's not that i like to brag about my charity, but at the same time it's nice to have company while doing so.

Well it appears that the most folks are ambivalent to this idea, and those that are interested already give on their own which is great.

Thanks to all who responded favorably, and to those who have never considered giving, just remember when you're taking down that 20BB pot with your set of threes, there are millions of kids holding 72o, and for many it might be the best hand they ever get.

Good Luck,

Set up a monthly tournament on a receptive site.

Players pay the buy-in knowing they will never get it back.

Payouts from the final table are paid directly by the site to the charity of the winner's choice.

I think UltimatePoker are launching something similar.
