Once again, poker shows how it is a democratic sport that everyone can play.
Check out the story of João Paulo Trindade

João Paulo Trindade shows us that, even in physical difficulties, poker can still be very important for its practitioners.
João Paulo has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and lives bedridden and under the care of his wife, Yara Prado. But despite the difficulties he faces during his daily life, one thing hasn't changed in João Paulo's life: he continues to play poker and gather his friends at his house.
With all the equipment connected, João has a computer and a speaker so that he can 'speak' his move and his friends hear it, a camera that transmits the table and, of course, many incredible friends so that he can join the party. His nephew and wife also help him to continue playing the sport, showing the cards received with each hand. João even shares in his personal profile some results in online poker and a lot of study of the game.

Joao Paulo Trindade is worthy of respect, doing what he loves despite the difficulties with his health. Close people will always provide support. Judging by his winnings, he studies poker harder than most.
