The Charity Series of Poker raised over $12,000 for Support the Kid, a foundation created to help children fight cancer, and poker charity founder Matt Stout wins the first prize.

Adam Robinson said something very important to Tim Ferris during his recent podcast appearance. I am paraphrasing, but he essentially said that our suffering is caused when we focus on ourselves.

What I take from that golden nugget is to end personal suffering, focus your attention on serving others. But how do you do that? You can call your mother and tell her you love her. You can listen to your shopkeeper talking about her onions instead of talking about your bunions. Or you could start a charity and raise money for good causes.

On January 29th Matt Stout and his Charity Series of Poker (CSOP), set up shop at the Borgata Casino Hotel & Spa to raise money for the Support the Kid Foundation. It was the ninth such event that Stout has organised to help reduce suffering in the world.
