Re: Charity Freeroll 30th March 2008 Hi Dunc Just a quick question if i was lucky enought to finish in the money, would it be possible to get a cheque with the charity name on it? Its just that a good friend of mine is running the Great North Run later in the year and realy struggles to get sponsorship and as hes running for a certain charity i would like to offer support (which i will anyway), and thought that any winnings from this could go towards that. Cheers Joe

Re: Charity Freeroll 30th March 2008 Not sure how I have missed this thread, probably because I've not been active on the poker front for quite some time. :( What a fantastic gesture Duncan. :clap It just confirms what I already know about you and Helen, a truly fantastic and remakable couple. :notworthy

Re: Charity Freeroll 30th March 2008 Thanks Gal - you are welcome to try your hand, just let me know if you want to play. For those have requested the password in the poll expect it within the next hour. I have decided to treat SloppyJ, AA Hall, Berzerka Bill, dili123in and wolvesfan as non qualifiers on this occasion. It's a question of involvement over the whole year - hope you understand. *** Please post on here or send me a PM if you would like to be included and do not receive the password tonight *** *** I asked Blue Square to make the start time on Sunday 9pm GMT thinking it would become 8pm BST. I still can't get my head around it but there is every chance I have ensured the start time will be 10pm BST - my apologies if it is. We will know more when the clocks 'spring forward' *** :ok

Re: Charity Freeroll 30th March 2008 Anybody else get the email below? Hi Mr Punters lounge, My name is Peter Mgumbi, my father was Sir Richard Mgumbi KBE, a famous pokah player and recent winner of the Debrecen all-comers freeroll. As a result of winning this pressedtigious competition $37,000,000 was transferred to my fathers account in the Royal Bank of Lagos. Unfortuantely before he could release these funds my father pissed away and the bank refuses to transfer the money to myself as gambling winnings are not considered part orf a deceased estate under Nigerian law. However, the bank will permit the transfer of the monies to charitable work and have authrised me to distribute this money. Therefore I propose to add the $35M dollars as prize money to your freeroll. I feel my father would have aprooved of this as he had great respect for your esteamed forum even thow a missunderstanding prevented him playing in many of your freerolls. In order to fasillytate transfer of the money, a small handling charge is required by the solicitors of my fathers estate. If you can send 17000 Nigerian dollars (approximately £2795 by federal expresso to Mr Katchem, Katchen&Co, Loosers St,Lagos , Nigeria, LA5 TUC, then the $37Million will be transferred into the control of Punters Lounge to be used in your forthcoming freeroll. As a final tribute to my late fathers memory, may I have the password to this freeroll. If I win I intend to donate the money to the Centre for Illiterates in Lagos (Nigerian Charity No. 175681) which is setting up a support center and Internet cafe for poor Nigerians to practice there English skills by e-maleing british peoples. I thank you much for this opportunity, may god bless you. Peter Mgumbi.
