The thing about being successful financely Is having something to start with. If you are willing to give Knowledge and CASH maybe you can help. But you will need to give them a sense of hope also which is much much more important. Can you give the hope?! I like your idea and hope you push it, just have my doubts. Have you ever been homeless or Loved a homeless person? That would help, Alot. FWIW I only read the title not the thread. Hope is the key I promise. HOPE. Give the downtrodden hope and if they are a good person with a good heart they will thrive under most circumstances. I have been homeless and at the bottom I know. You would amazed how close "The Homeless" and you and I all are simular.

Wait, wait, wait... no.

The long-term homeless (at least in the US) are greatly populated by the mentally ill, people with serious addictions, ex-cons and so forth.

Invariably someone's going to pop up and disagree with the above, and they'll be incorrect.

Besides being horribly unethical, it's really awful judgment. These people are by and large the exact opposite of people predisposed to becoming straong poker players. In fact we have plenty here in AC that do play a little poker.

I think the bums capable of being a winning player (e.g. the chess playing bums) won't even want to participate because if they needed money they wouldn't have too much trouble getting it, they just like the bum life [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
