Hi!
Autumn has come and with it the autumn depression!It seems that everything around is covered with a twilight fog, as is my mood.We are all looking for support in our lives and our hobbies.I met a regular player of microlemites six months ago.We often corresponded with him-we shared our experience, experienced defeats and complained about our inability to collect a decent bankroll.(And a month ago, I found out that my friend won one of the MTTs and received excellent prize money of about $ 56,000.I was sincerely happy for him ,congratulated him on his victory and wished him to switch to abi 10-20, which he can do.Yes, and for the family part this amount would be a great help.) And yesterday, in correspondence, I find out that he plays on the same micro-limits.What's the matter, I ask him,you've got a great bankroll, haven't you? It turned out that at the school where his son studied in the lower grades,a girl was seriously ill and she urgently needed a decent amount for surgery.And he handed over about $ 45,000 !!! And interestingly, his wife supported him!!!!)I asked him how he feels about such an act now-he replied that it betrayed the meaning of his game and rekindled his interest and love for poker with a new force .
And what do you think about his action?

That's a great story. Funny how some things seem to happen for a reason. Good to hear the money went to a good cause. Hope I can make that same selfless act when presented with the opportunity.

I guess the opportunity is always out there, just need the will to give up what is a luxury to me to help with the need of another.

Unfortunately, there are very few such people. Few are capable of such an act. Such people deserve only respect.
