Brooks Playing For a Good Cause
According to Brooks, the purpose of the Decision Education Foundation is to “teach the science of decision making to students in grades K through 12. Teaching proper decision making is important and very applicable to poker.” Brooks also told me that he has been able to convince Annie Duke to join him on the board for the DEF to help further their cause.
“I hope to get lucky for them and win them some money” was the last thing he told me before returning to play. He has a tough field ahead of him, but regardless of where he finishes, the real winners at the end of the day will be the children and young adults that his organization will be able to help as a result of his winnings.
