We're clashing again very soon...
Matches 3 and 4 are about to start (as soon as Marris stops being a nit about playing 3 tables at a time)

I haven't chosen a specific charity yet, I am considering a few.
A bit nervous to put this up, I'm kind of a private person but I feel I should briefly explain the reasons behind the charity that I eventually choose...
Not many (if any) of you will know this, but my Grandad died at the beginning of last month. It was a complete shock to me and my family. Although we knew he had cancer, it was in the early stages so there was a huge chance that he would survive it. He underwent 4 months of treatment, which did work. However, it made him and his immune system very weak.
In his last week, he was taken into hospital due to hypercalcaemia, which made him very confused. Whilst he was there, he became ill with pneumonia and due to his weakened immune system, he wasn't strong enough to fight it and this is what he died from.
I am looking at various charities that support people with cancer, or research it. I am also thinking about choosing the RNLI charity, it helps save lives at sea and my Grandad absolutely loved that place. Him and my Grandma had their 50th wedding anniversary at the RNLI Lifeboat College at the end of last year, which is the last time i saw him. I also have very fond memories of visiting there when I was younger. My third option is to give to the hospital that looked after him whilst he was ill...
Not sure which one to go for but I will update when I have chosen one, I think it will be a nice gesture and gives me more incentive to win

Have matches 3 and 4 happened yet?
I railed match two and how good does matt run against melissa? She casually turns two pair (ive been told this is a good hand HU
) and gets it in, only to find matt has flopped a better two pair with the monster K2 :O What a life!
For a guy that claims to run bad he sure does run well
I heard he once got it in with JJ vs AA and hit a straight, and cracked KK with 77. Cant remember who those hands where against though :/ Can you remember Melissa?

Yes I remember them very well... has Matt not told everyone about the very last hand of the first match? He managed to river 2 pair vs my AA with the mighty K3!!!
Nope, matches 3 and 4 have been postponed, cause Matt was playing a tournament and he can't play 3 tables at one time...

I forgot he is one of these live players that only plays on one table at a time! How boring is that
Or rages if he plays more than one cause it doubles the amount of beats he "suffers"

Wow, this is a sad story but unfortunately one that happens all too often. Something very similar happened to my uncle, when I was a teenager. Sorry for your loss Melissa.
How about you pick the charity for whoever loses the sidebet, if someone takes me up on it; that way you at least cover one charity and maybe two.

Currently offering £100 at a generous 1/1 on Melissa's side if anyone wants to take Matt? tbh Matt probably a small favourite but just want to anti-rail him.

With the 2-0. As in the result over 50 games, with 48 left to play. I think 1/1 is stupid sick value, so I'm only selling action at this price once. Loser pays to winner's charity of choice tho.

Sorry for your loss Melissa. I also had a good mate die from cancer last summer, and my nan also passed away just before christmas as a result. I played a charity golf day in aid of Macmillian, as they helped an enormous amount. Just a suggestion, they were a great charity. Although the 4 rounds of golf in a day for them meant i couldnt walk for weeks!
