katrina relief- 180% of your buyin goes to relief!!!

[chesterp]

i couldn't believe when i searched katrina and just found paradise and vegas, giving 50% of buyin to katrina,and didn't see interpokers.
interpoker tomorrow has a $10 buyin tourney. payout is only 20%. the other 80%, plus interpoker matching 100% of everyone's buyin. so even if you aren't free to play the tourney, just donate your $10, and inter will send $18 of your $10 to redcross. too bad it's only $10 i say.
but everyone should sign up for this, even if not playing- only $10, and it'll turn into $18 for donations!
tourney is at 1 pm eastern tomorrow. katrina is name of tourney.

For the tournament it was 50-50 which then was matched by Paradise. All transfers to KatrinaHelp account are matched completely though. If you read the Paradise thread, so far "we" have raised over $25,000.

generous. hope they actually come through, and specify funds for red cross katrina relief

[chesterp]

so some people seem worried the $ won't get there like they say. my thinking is that both paradise and inter are major and reputable sites and this is legit. how low would it be to not send that money to those in need? money that we could have sent to redcross directly. you could almost see that as murder. besides, wouldn't there be a paper trail somehow? anyways, if they claim to double my money and i think there is over a 50% chance they are being honest, then i'm sending my money that way instead of directly to redcross. ev+ if over 50% chance of honesty. i'm thinking these sites are around atleast 95% chance of being honest with this one.
