Mel Gibson is definitely giving back this year.

Instead of fighting with his baby mama or yelling at cops, Gibson is getting into the spirit of giving by hosting a charity event where the only gamble he’ll take is with his money.

The Mad Max star is hosting a poker tournament on December 16 with fellow A-lister Martin Sheen, benefiting Mending Kids

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Mel is a long-time supporter of the charity which provides surgical care to needy kids around the world.

With only 28 player spots, the exclusive game has a $2,500 buy in price, and the game is Texas Hold ‘Em.

Will Mel know when to fold ‘em?
