I haven't seen Tony or heard from him yet and that worries me.

I am praying everything is ok. Any updates on a poker game?

Thanks
Pat

Same here.

Poker game has the go ahead, just need to get Tonys link for it but can use mine for now and i will add an extra amount to the pool from anything i earn there.

The game will be played at Big Bet Poker a merge skin which is US friendly. The only people that may struggle to register here are dutch and possibly even Canadians.

Need to discuss with Pomp the structure and ask you when you would like the game to go ahead.

Give me a day and date, time best suited and i will have it set up and ready.

Sign up ready at Big Bet if you like and i will update with details as and when.

Sorry I missed this,

We'd be happy to help out with the following donations to the prize pool:

3-day featured listing on our homepage: $100 value

(3) 50,000 impression banner campaigns in our 468x60 ($3 CPM) zone
($150 value each = $450 total value)

With enough time provided we can also promote the event to our members at the PokerNations site, plus do a Facebook and Twitter blast to our fans announcing it.

Thats great Anthony, just awaiting Giggleypoos idea when she wants us to go for it.

Hopefully she will give us a week or so to work with and then all systems go!

**giggles7p** · 6 November 2009, 6:23 pm

Thank you so much Anthong, what a wonderful thing to do for another member here. I love this family of people.

Paul, i know nothing about setting up this kind of stuff, i just know how to play..lol.

So I would like to leave the total details up to you and Pomp. I am good with any date, time...etc....just tell me what to do to help and i am there. Take as much time as you think is needed to promote this and get the most players we can....i will promote also when you give me the links....

Ps..Still have not heard from Tony? I know he told me there is no internet at the hospital and he is only home long enough to feed the cats....so i am hoping thats why we have not heard from him....but i worry.

Love you all
Pat

I've been shown kindness by others in the industry plenty of times, so I don't mind helping out, especially around the holidays

**Chalkie** · 6 November 2009, 6:50 pm

Yes we are all helped out at some point in this industry, to help another is no hardship to any of us and we are 1 big family really.

**pompeyrayuk** · 6 November 2009, 6:55 pm

We need to make the game US and Euro friendly so too maximize turnout potential so I suggest a Sunday at 1500 EST 2000 GMT personally.

As for structure I would like to see more donations like the kind one from Anthony @ Poker Nations that way all buy ins can go to Tony.

So if any experts out there can offer a prize please do. Same goes for any affiliate managers site owner members or anyone for that matter.

**pdjoe** · 6 November 2009, 9:51 pm

Great job everyone!

As always Tony, your in our thoughts.

AJ and Poker Nations, that rocks! Let me know how I can assist.

**Tony** · 8 November 2009, 7:06 pm

Pat and all the GPWA members you are wonderful people, I just came home to make sure everything is OK is been a month now, I’m at the Hospital with my wife and she is still in bed because the stitches open up and she was bleeding, they have her so doped up she was slipping all day, the problem is every time she opens her eyes and I’m not there she gets all upset. I stay there day and night so I can feat her and clean her and I sleep on a chair, they have PC but the security is set so high I can’t go to any gambling sites so I don’t know what is going on.
When I came home to day and log in to GPWA what a surprise! You made my day, I would like to thank you all specially Pat for your generosity I will never forget this for this longest I live, you’re the best friends anybody can ever have.

God Bless

**giggles7p** · 8 November 2009, 10:10 pm

Oh Tony, I am so glad to hear from you!

Its horrible that your wife is having such a hard time with her stitches, but they are in a very hard spot to keep dry, clean, and trying not to use that area just to move is almost impossible...so i can just imagine what she is going through. I wish she didn't need so many drug meds for pain, thats the worst part, once the pain subsides and she can clear her head, things will look and feel better. Hang in there hun, but start taking better care of yourself! Make those people in the hospital put an extra bed in your wifes room ASAP!! Don't let them tell you they can't the most certainly can!

We will be here for you, and as you can see a poker game in your wifes benefit is going to be held by some fantastic members here and poker rooms, and we all hope that this can help take off some of the strain you are feeling, especially since your wonderful boss felt it fitting to let you go now of all times!!!!!!....what an idiot! lol

Tony, Chalkie is going to give me a link for the poker site we are using so you can signup as an affiliate [unless you already are one] and that way all of us who do not have accounts at this poker room [like myself] will signup under your link so you can keep on making some revenue from this site and players...

So please keep in touch when you can so we can get this going....if i do not here from you in the next couple of days, we will start it up anyway and get the signups to you somehow....chalkie and poker nation know this stuff, i am a dummy...lol

Love ya, hugs to you and your wife,....and stay strong and know you have family here!

Pat

**PokerNations** · 8 November 2009, 10:53 pm

Whomever is putting this together please just get me the details early so I can make sure to promote it to our members and try to get more players involved!

**giggles7p** · 8 November 2009, 11:17 pm

Ditto! I would love to be able to promote for a week or two before we actual play, get as many players as possible i say!!!

Just give me a shout, i am here all the damn time! lol

Pat

**specialagent08** · 9 November 2009, 12:32 am

thoughts go out to!

Game sounds great

**giggles7p** · 10 November 2009, 4:11 am

Ok, Received word from Tony that he signed up as an affiliate at Big Bet...but is not waiting for the acceptance email. If he is approved I will send Paul the aff. code and anyone else who wants to post the link on their sites to promote the benefit.

Thanks everyone for you help!

Pat

**Tony** · 11 November 2009, 6:30 pm

Hi all I’m sorry I can’t come here every day, but I don’t have access to PC where I am now, I really appreciate what you are doing for me, just the though along that so many of you thinking of me and my wife is southing to my soul, is nice to know that we are not along.
God Bless you all

**giggles7p** · 11 November 2009, 8:02 pm

My deepest apologies and best heart filled prayers Tony. I struggle when life throws us curve balls having felt unimaginable pain many times. I never know what to do, what to say if anything. But what I do know were all here for you and wife.

God Bless all of you who have shown human compassion. I have no other words…

Pat you truly are a sweetheart make me tear up.
