New World, New Look

Hey all - I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. These are weird times, both from a personal standpoint and a poker standpoint. Our families feel far away. Our friends feel far away. And while playing poker online with friends can be fun, our times sitting around the kitchen table with our poker family feels far away, too.

My wife and I are looking for opportunities to help those around us when we can, and I hope, if you have been blessed during this time of uncertainty, you are doing the same. I’d like to make you an offer - help support our little group here, and we’ll help make a small difference in our community.

I have created a simple, pretty cheap, t-shirt design online that you can go and order. The t-shirt will be shipped directly to you. With taxes and shipping, it typically comes out to about $20. It’s 100% cotton and just a simple t-shirt, but let it be a reminder to you that your poker family is still here.

I’m not making any money off of these. In fact, I plan to spend money. For every t-shirt sold through this order, my family will personally donate a “match” - $20. So, if we sell 25 shirts, we’ll donate $500. This donation will go towards the North Texas Food bank.

So - go order a shirt! Why a shirt and not just donate the money? That’s a good question. But why not a shirt? The shirt serves one purpose - bringing us all together. One thing I have always loved about poker is how it brings together people from all walks of life - it’s a common tie that bonds us. Wear this shirt and remember that we are better off united. When this is all over and you see this shirt across the room, give that person a knowing nod, a fist bump, a smile. Community is more important than ever.
