Charity Poker Tournament

This article is not something about how much a particular player has won in a poker tournament? The topic that we are about to discuss is more rewarding and better than anything else. I request the readers of this post to think seriously about the issue I am about to discuss. Poker game has become increasing popular from the past four decades. And it has become world famous after online poker came into existence.

We all play poker tournaments to win huge prize pool. Let us estimate how much money is won every year by playing poker.  In the year 2001, 45 million Americans played the game poker regularly as per the statistic given by New York Times. So, can you guess the total money won by these players every year? Well, you may not have paid your towards it. It’s staggering $10 billion every year. So, this issue is very sensitive and every one must think about it. People, don’t get me wrong. We all play poker to win. Is there any limit to it? In one word no! Sky is the limit if you are playing poker and winning money. But have you ever thought about others and their living condition. Even today many poor people are homeless with no food. So, its your responsibility to actively participate in charity poker tournaments and contribute at least 1/10th part of the money won every year.
