In the aftermath of the Big One for #OneDrop and during the ensuing 'Colman debate' about whether or not poker should be promoted at all, an alternative has emerged from within the poker community itself - @Philipp Gruissem @Igor Kurganov @Liv Boeree and other top pros have found an answer to 'Colman's Dilemma': Raising for Effective Giving. It is a program designed to help and encourage poker players to make meaningful and efficient donations to various causes and charities of their choice. While Colman drew attention to the 'ugly world' of poker, Gruissem came out with a simple answer to his moral dilemma: "Trust me, the only way to be 100% happy if you are living in this poker world is to give back."

The idea behind effective giving is to rely on science and rational decision-making in order to find the most effective interventions.
REG is collaborating with researchers, think tanks and charity evaluators to provide members with the best information on the most effective giving opportunities. Interested REG members are encouraged to participate in discussions about effective giving.
Additionally, REG will promote effective giving to the poker-interested public and encourage members to become ambassadors for this important cause.

"No one has ever become poor by giving" :)

This, definitely is an interesting approach, not just to the game, but to life. Makes sence, but to me they both make sence - REG and Dan Colman's opinion. Above all I think, no matter what, you just need to do what makes you happy and try to enjoy life in the way you want it, because that's the point, no?
