Win yourself a Halo

unknown_username

Hows about a regular charity based tournament with 20% of the prizepool going to the charity of choice of the eventual winner.

It doesn't have to be big money, Say, £5.00+50 with £1 going to charity and the rest making up the prizepool. It would make everyone feel a bit better and earn a halo for the winner.

Piffle!

Some of the most talented poker players have been giving and playing for charity for years.

Including me. Never heard of P4C?

To which you are entitled )

MADMOO

Good idea Alan

DOHHHHHHH

lol not sure why anyone would vote no on any of these, unless it's changing the format of an existing event.

This is prob one of the best ones, if you don't like it you just don't play it, rather than trying to stop it altogether!

I like it!..... i will set up a great charity so you can direct it straight into my paypal

......... and make it a rebuy/addon  ;o)

unknown_username

Bump.

Sorry couldn't resist ................. and it is for charity  )

If, by any chance, this should win, I think the entry fee for whatever it wins should be the first to go to charity - Save the Children would be good if that's possible. )

Emotional blackmail FTW.

TY AcidMan ............. more please!

So, if you enter and win, can you claim the tax back as it is a charity donation?

Can one of the 1st charities be Area51 Nurses Welfare Fund?

How much of your TSP Classic win last night will you be donating to charity then?

Would you like me to stop asking questions now and get back to Al's Bar*?

*A virtual pub in the Shed where everyone (nearly) is welcome. 1st pint is free today and a BBQ is planned for later today. TY.

Brrrrrrr

Good idea, especially if Sky donated their rake as suggested in another post!

Top idea, i vote yes.

scotty77

one of the best ideas to come from this tournie comp.

would def play these.

unknown_username

Thanks for the votes guys 

More please )

scotty77

to expand on the idea, we could have a different charity each week.

the winner of the previous weeks tournie gets to put forward 3 charities (as long as they meet criteria met by Sky Poker so that said charities are suitable).  the forum then votes and the winner gets the wonga on the next weeks tournie and so on
