Default Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)

To play devil's advocate here, one question I'd be curious if anyone can answer. Does anyone think the government would look at money coming from the poker community as a bad thing? If I was Bill Frist, I would probably compare these donations as something equal to a drug dealer donating illegal funds.

I would be careful explaining things like "donkaments" and using words like luck. That is a huge red flag to the government and the opponents of online gambling. Just mentioning the phrase and his use might be sufficient enough.

OK, as already established, I am not a regular poster. But lest karma f--- me in the a--, I figgure I better donate again since I won a donkament today. Sorry I can't split it down the middle, but as a mere semi-successful donkament player, I am just not that balla.

1. Donate to BG's charity
2. LOL DONKAMENTS
3. play at AP
4. Profit
5. Share it like you should

RE-Explaining Donkaments: "Donkaments is a term combining the words donkey and tournaments, and was coined by BBV due to the high percentage of bad players in most tournaments." seems better than using luck.

Editing out any reference to luck is absurd.

Perhaps there should be a separate thread for PR on this. This is the donations thread.

This explaination of "lol donkaments" is more accurate anyways.

You saw the commericials where they tied buying pot into supporting terorism right?

Anyway, like someone said, this is the donation thread. I don't want to go off topic. Just my .02 that the less focus on the word luck the better.
