More Gambling News on the main page, but if you are only interested in poker then the Poker News section is where to go.

Following the news that there had been a devastating earthquake in Haiti that registered a huge 7.0 on the magnitude readings, the online poker world has sprung into action in order to help to raise funds to send to the citizens that are truly in need.

Last week saw the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) issue a statement to the press revealing that the online poker community had donated over $1.5 million to the disaster fund that will be used to help citizens get food, medical help and aid their reconstruction.

The earthquake rendered a large number of citizens homeless, destroying home and shelters that they were using as a home but that wasn’t the worst that the natural disaster has to offer, taking a large number of casualties.

Following the conclusion of January, the figure that is believed to have been donated to the fund is expected to have exceeded that figure easily, with Pokerstars alone offering a $1,492,780.52 donations alone, made up of half contributions from their huge player base and the other half put up by the site themselves.

Not to be out done by their rivals, Full Tilt Poker also stepped up to the mark providing its members with an account that players can make a donation to in order to add to the fund. The site has recorded a total of 23,161 donations from its members, totaling $329,736.64 to which they have committed to match, so sending a total of $659,473.28.

Cake Poker were the first online poker room to announce that they were going to offer a form of donation to the fund, although their donation was dwarfed by that of Pokerstars, offering $32,000 to the relief account.

Other online poker rooms such as Bodog.com are trying to make their presence known too, founder Calvin Ayre has challenged players to open their wallets in support for the relief, so far collecting $247,911 which Ayre has promised to match up to $1,000,000 through his foundation as long as players are willing to offer their support.

Its great to see that poker rooms are looking to fight their way back into the press for the right reasons rather than that of scandal and deception.
If you want to donate money to haiti, then here is a list at American Red Cross with the different options for donations.

Top of the Dogs

Since im focusing mostly on Irish Open Satellites and Omaha cash games at the moment, i really havent gotten into the top of the dogs promotion.
It seems pretty cool though, with $50.000 being awarded monthly to the Multi Table Tournaments Leaderboard, and the Sit and Go races.
The races are running weekly and monthly and you can read the details at the Ladbrokes Top Dogs promotion page.

Then there is the amazing Ladbrokes Cruise, but that is something that i will soon cover in a post of its own.
It is not departing untill January 2011, so there is heeps of time to qualify.
I have been on 2 poker cruises before, and it is just impossible to describe how awsome it is.
That was the old Party Poker cruises which are not running at the moment, so i will try my luck with the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise Satellite Tournaments instead.
I dont think i get started untill after the Irish Open and WSOP.
There are just so many interesting events, and i dont have time to try and qualify for them all.
