While negative headlines often dominate the poker news cycle – such as Charlie Carrel calling out a scammer and SCOTUS lawyer Tom Goldstein getting in trouble for failing to pay poker taxes – it is important to remember that the game can be used for good.
Perhaps the greatest example of that is the untold millions raised via charity poker tournaments. There are high-profile charity tournaments like those hosted by the Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) and Jack Binion in Las Vegas, but all across the world there are events of all sizes for different causes.
Case in point, the Earl Holt–John Seaman Poker Tournament, which is entering its 17th year with an event on Saturday, March 29. The $125 buy-in tournament, which features re-buys and add-ons, is limited to 45 players, and it has already sold out – they filled all seats within five days of sending out their Save the Date. However, for those wanting to get in, there is currently a waiting list!
“The tournament is held in memory of Earl Holt and John Seaman, two beloved longtime residents of Ennis, Montana, and devoted supporters of Ennis High School,” Jerry Jacobs and tournament director Wanda Skinner told PokerNews. “They were both passionate about poker, and their passing—just two weeks apart—was a profound loss to both the Ennis community and our poker family. To honor their memory and their love for the game, this tournament was created to bring people together, celebrate poker, and give back to local students.”
In 2024, the tournament contributed $15,050 in scholarships to 12 graduating seniors at Ennis High School, making a real difference in their futures. Gary Schild and Rod Clark chopped the top two spots, Jill Pike finished third, and David Henderson took 4th place.
The tournament is held at the Silver Dollar Saloon, a classic Montana saloon and casino that provides an authentic taste of Montana heritage. With its historic charm, it’s the perfect setting for a poker event that brings the community together while preserving the spirit of the game.
“We’ve been fortunate to have poker professionals Mikiyo Aoki, Nobu Aoki, and Jill Pike, all from Bozeman, Montana, attend the tournament,” said Jacobs. “Their participation has helped elevate the event while keeping it a fun and welcoming environment for all.”
Aoki is a well-known poker grinder with nearly $500,000 in tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob, which puts her sixth on Montana’s all-time money list. That includes a career-high $94,800 for finishing runner-up in the 2014 World Series of Poker Ladies Championship.
For those who might either want on the waitlist or to donate to the cause, please contact Wanda Skinner at [email protected].

- Also, it is critical that you comprehend the significance of flexibility in your approach. If you start with a powerful deck of cards that have the potential to form several melds, be ready to change your approach as the game goes on. If you have three 7s and two 8s, for instance, you might first try to make a set with the 7s, but if you draw more 6s or 9s, you might change your focus to making a sequence. You can take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves and keep your opponents guessing about your plans thanks to your flexibility. In Roz Rummy, wild cards are essential because they give players special chances to finish their hands faster. 25-03-01
- Also, take into account the possibility of forming several melds at once; this not only improves your chances of going out but also puts pressure on your opponents as they attempt to predict your next move. You can play Roz Rummy much better if you can identify important patterns and card combinations. Based on their starting hands and the cards being played, seasoned players frequently acquire an intuitive understanding of which combinations are most likely to result in success. Since high cards are less likely to connect in runs, it might be better to concentrate on creating sets rather than sequences if you begin with a number of high-ranking cards, such as aces & kings. 25-03-01

- For instance, three kings from various suits could make up a set, but 4-5-6 of hearts could make up a sequence. Each player draws a card from the draw or discard pile, & at the conclusion of their turn, they discard one card. The round is over when one player declares Roz as the winner after successfully melding all of their cards into sets and sequences that are legal. 25-03-01
- The management of cards is another crucial component of strategy. It is important for players to monitor which cards have been discarded & which are still in play. You can use this knowledge to help you decide which cards to keep & which to throw away. For instance, unless they are a part of a sequence you are actively attempting to complete, it might be prudent to avoid holding onto heart cards if you observe that an opponent has discarded multiple hearts. 25-03-01
- Understanding Roz Rummy: A Complete Guide Roz Rummy is an engaging card game that blends strategy, skill, & a little bit of luck. Two to six players can participate in the game, which is usually played with two decks of cards, including jokers. A set number of cards—typically 13—are dealt to each player, with the remaining cards making up the draw pile. The aim is to create legitimate sets & sequences, which are card combinations that satisfy particular requirements outlined in the game's regulations. A run of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit is called a sequence, whereas a valid set is made up of three or four cards of the same rank but different suits. 25-03-01
