Aid for Haiti

Full Tilt has a bunch of ""aid for Haiti" tournaments going now thru at least Sunday. These are the best way I know of to make a small contribution to relief efforts over there, as Full Tilt will be matching all funds raised and you get to help poker show it’s good side, while playing in a fun little tournament. Look, even if you are on a short bankroll it is not a bad investment as there will be a lot of dead money from players that want to help but don’t really take the tournaments seriously. Also they are making sure the charities are the best ones.
I am mentioning Full Tilts because that is where I play, but I am sure the other big sites will be doing events as well.
I will be playing in most of them so see you there.

I wanted to say something about overpopulation and the Catholic church’s stance on birth control in impoverished countries like Haiti, but I want to have one blog without any controversy, so I won’t.
