Not all poker tourneys and functions are cutthroat fights for greenbacks and green twenty five dollar chips. Sure most of the play on the felt is reserved for bludgeoning your opponent's chip stack and getting inside his or her head to extract the maximum amount of money.

Poker knows how to give back as well. Charity tournaments and auctions are among the ways poker players give back to the community and maybe swing a little positive karma into a game that rewards treachery and deceit.

The World Poker Tour's popular "Ladies' Night" tournament at the Bicycle Casino in LA is reaching out to the poker community and beyond with its online auction at Charitybuzz.com for the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer research. With 38 different items for a poker lover to choose from playing poker with WPT Hosts Vince Van Patton and Mike Sexton to vacations set around the world, there's something to get for giving to this very worthy cause.

For information on how to donate visit the CharityBuzz.com webpage for the "WPT Ladies Night Auction" and give those searching for the answers to this terrible disease a little extra ammo.
