    From now on, everytime i waste any amount of money I am going to take the amount of money i wasted out of my savings account, and put if in a fund to donate to the charity i decide. Like last night i played a 20 dollar freezout and got pissed off and pushed all in everyhand to go from chip leader with 100 left to out with 98 left. That would be a waste of 20 dollars. So now i will take an additional 20 dollars out of my bank account and store it in a fund to donate it to a charity. So in an essence it would be a double whammy. So everytime i tilt, or just give up on an mtt it will effect me two-fold. I estimated i wasted at least 20k since december, so this could end up being a substanstial donation if i dont change my ways. Out of this i hope to change my mindset, and if i cant do that, at least make a large donation (cut back on taxes heh heh, jk). So input on a good charity would be nice

    democratic national fund :-)

    honestly, just find something you are interested in or possibly has affected you or a loved one, and donate towards that...possibly cancer research, save the manatees, whatever floats your boat....and props

    The chiplead was worth way more than 20, probably something like 100-150. Maybe even 300+ if you include skill factor.

    Charity idea: ship it to busto_soon at stars.

    DNC is not the way to go if he wants to cut back on his tax obligation.

    I'd say Cato Institute. They support lower taxes, free trade, and online gaming.

    i like this idea. For your charity I would try to find something u feel strong about and devote all your money and efforts to that.

    i never thought i would tell someone to stick to the bad-beat posts until i had to read about how he raped a woman and thought it was hilaaaaaaaaaaaarious. i vote for paying for your own therapy. you don't even have to wait to "waste" some other money first.

    Serious response would be habitat for humanity or boys and girls club. A charity that helps kids is always worth it.

    lets be honest. it's great to talk about, but I guarantee it doesn't last a month...if even that long
