Hi everyone,

As some of you know, my wife is extremely active in animal rights advocacy and has participated in the Walk for Farm Animals for several years now. It's organized by and for the benefit of Farm Sanctuary, which is a farm animal rescue and such a wonderful organization. There have been similar sanctuaries popping up over the last several years, but there are still far more abandoned and mistreated farm animals in need of rescue than organizations to do the work and Farm Sanctuary is still the best of the bunch.

As the title says, in exchange for donations to the walk, I'll be raffling off a package consisting of all the following:

(1) 10% equity in my entry into the upcoming Parx Big Stax $300+30 tournament (if you donate before my tourney flight which is this Saturday, August 1, 2015 at 11am EST);
(2) Two bridge size set-ups: one sealed Desjgn and one pre-USPC Kem (opened, but unplayed by me and in pristine shape, found in an antique shop a few years ago) plus 2 yellow and 2 red bridge size cut cards;
(3) Single chips in air-tites: one Binion's $100; one "Call This!" by emptypocs; and one ASM 100 year anniversary chip; and
(4) Sample sets of the following:
- Iron Bank (GoT) tourney set by stocky;
- The Boulevard cash set by bmichaelhorn;
- Key West cash and tourney set by dennis63 on CT;
- 12 "Enlighten Me" show 'em chips by toad94 on CT;
- Clermont Lounge cash set on ASM smooth no mold by me (design by J5);
- Monogrammed (denom on reverse) BCC cash set on flame mold by me;
- Clermont Lounge tourney set on MGK (incomplete - only 25, 500, 5000) by me (design by J5; stamping by monkeydog);
- CPS tourney and cash sets on Tower & Spear china clay;
- Nine Dragons tourney and cash sets on Game On ceramics;
- Fast Cash Club tourney set on Old West Poker Supplies ceramics by SixSpeedFury;
- Westside Lanes Casino cash set on Bud Jones S2s ($1, $5, $25 and $100) and Bud Jones Suits mold (.50, $3)
- PCF tourney set on PGI ceramics;
- Game On ceramic production samples (39mm and 44mm);
- CPC ceramic production samples (39mm and 43mm);
- CPC hybrid production sampes (39mm)​

All items as pictured below. International participants are welcome at no extra charge.

So how much do you have to give for a chance at the above?

Donate $20 and receive 5 entries;
Donate $30 and receive 10 entries;
Donate $60 and receive 25 entries;
Donate $100 will receive 50 entries *as well as a set-up of 2008 or 2009 WSOP Kems (opened, but unused)*;

*Please note that there are no more WSOP set-ups remaining. The three I had are now spoken for thanks to the generosity of a few kind PCFers. Thank you guys

Procedure for the raffle will be as follows:
- Donations through this thread will close on Saturday, August 8, 2015 at 8pm EST;
- Each participant will be assigned a spread from 0000 through 9999 sized according to the number of entries;
- I will post each participants' spread on Sunday, August 9, 2015 by 3pm EST;
- The winner will be determined by the New Jersey Pick 4 evening numbers on Sunday, August 9, 2015.​

So what do you need to do to enter? Go to my wife's page here and donate a minimum of $20. Be sure to click the option to make your donation public and then also post in this thread. I will update the second post below so you can see that I have noted your participation and the correct number of entries.

Note: the donation site doesn't take PayPal, which I consider a PITA (though I know the arguments both ways), so an extra thank you for having to actually take the time to key in your number. If it's enough of a PITA that they don't take PayPal that you might be discouraged from donating, please PM me. You can PayPal me and I'll donate in your name and you can see it go up on her page for verification. My paypal is jbutler16 [at] gmail. Please include your PCF name (but do NOT include "PCF" as it will be flagged and held) in the message.

Note also: if you don't get your donation in before the start of the tournament, you will be drawing only for the stuff above and not the tournament equity. For those who do get their entries in before the tournament, the winner will receive 10% of my net, post-tax winnings.

Clarification: prompted by an emailed question that I hadn't considered, but should have, please note that no matter whether the ultimate winner of the package has donated in time for a piece of the tourney, 10% of my tourney equity will be given away to someone. If the person whose number is drawn in the NJ Pick 4 drawing did not donate in time to receive the piece of my tourney winnings, the winnings will go to the person who did donate in time and whose number is closest to the number drawn. In the event of a tie (equal distance on either side of the drawn number), the tourney winnings will go to the lower number if the number drawn in the NJ Pick 4 is odd and the higher number if the number drawn in the NJ Pick 4 is even.

Thank you so much in advance for any amount!

Out. Loose passive guy makes it 1300 in CO at 250/500/50. I make it 3k on button with JJcs. Folds to him and he calls fast. Flop 9TQccc. He checks I bet 5k he raises to 15k insta. I think for about 5 seconds and shove for 29k total. He tanks a long long time. Almost called clock. He calls and turns over Q4o no club. Turn 3h River 4d.

Sorry I couldn't take it home for you guys and the goats :(

Literally no other way to play this hand. Do you bring the acid to drizzle the hand history on his chest or do you get it at the Parx?
 
Glad to hear any other critiques of the hands relayed above. I don't play a lot of tournaments so I have a bit to learn I'm sure.
You played great, bud. No worries. You're a 60:39 favorite on the flop but i guess maff is hard for tards. My coaching email should have prepared you for this, but alas, I omitted the part where TourneyTard binks after betting and calling 3bet OOP with Q6 off. I hope you kept an eye on him and followed him to a cash table. Guy is confirmed spewmonkey. You repped PCF and the goats with class. I woulda replied "yup, you outplayed me." Queue the JJ video.
Q6o and Q4o?!?!?

I think I would've lost my shit; looked for it; found it; then smeared it all over his face. Shocking.
This is standard play in New Jersey but I believe Parx is in Pennsylvania.
 
New loose passive player sits to my right donks it up playing like 50/15 for a couple orbits. I raise to 1200 from SB with two black kings over his limp at 200/400/50 he calls quickly. Flop 863cc. I bet 1600 he calls. Turn Qd. I bet 3k he calls. River Jh. I bet 7k he flats and shows Q6o with no club. Down to 31.3k.

Fold pre.
 
Guys many apologies but this weekend got away from me due to some work stuff that unexpectedly destroyed basically all my free time and I didn't put the numbers together for the drawing before the winners were published.

The same stuff that derailed my weekend will also continue this week so I don't want to try to commit any time this week to working out the number spreads when I might not be able to do it. Let's set it out for next weekend for the same Saturday/Sunday schedule for setting the numbers and using the NJ drawing.

Again, apologies for missing the date I set. Won't miss it next weekend.

Reminder: the winner will be determined by the evening drawing on Sunday, August 16, 2015 for the NJ Pick 4. Due to rounding, there were 13 numbers (9988-0000) which were not assigned. If one of those numbers is drawn, it will be reversed to determine the winner. If 9999 is drawn, I will commit self-immolation with a random dog on the white house lawn. The first PCFer to post a picture of my ashes in the Derail/WTF thread will be forwarded the prize by the executor of my estate.

yeah absolutely - click here to donate (requires entering CC number) or paypal me at jbutler16 [at] gmail and i will forward donation.
 
Congrats, SixSpeed! PMs sent to @SixSpeedFury @JCFJ @PAZ and @nitzilla for addresses.

As I said in my PM to those guys above, my wife was, as always, extremely grateful for the overwhelming generosity and of course so am I. There are so many worthy causes competing for our time and dollars that I hesitate to make any claim about one being better than another, but Farm Sanctuary has to be up there in terms of quality of work and advocacy, so thank you all again so very much for contributing to these guys.
 
Congrats to Six Speed!

Jack-thanks for doing this, it's always great fun for a great cause!
