André “acoimbra” Coimbra

The portuguese André “acoimbra” Coimbra from pokerstars online time had a magnificent attitude
He donated 50.000 euros to an association that helps mentally disabled people near to his hometown Coimbra
It´s nice to see poker players being socially responsable
It proves that poker players are great and portuguese even better

Yeah. I have read about his 100K challenge. He made about $69000 from $100 in 2013. Great player.

Yeah seems like a nice person when you hear him talk. Didn't know about his charity thing though... great guy
Btw, his girlfriend just entered PokerStars TeamOnline a few days ago...

That's cool - always good to see someone giving back.

if humanly very commendable, but there are many players who make donations to various entities, most do it quietly but collaborate for a better world.

Yes it is good money, but the result is not pretty. Since he did not work and not studying, all day playing poker, though he has all the conditions for this, so he disposes all information (books, articles) and the most important in almost every limit he worked with coaches .. . But it can be understood as his main discipline is gyper sat..

it would be interesting if someone else was known professionals tried to repeat this achievement and maybe even surpass))

Wow thats just great act of kindness. 50 000 euros isnt small amount of money even for profesional like Coimbra. I think he had best year when he made around 200 000$. Big respect for this guy.

I've read a couple of his article/blog posts in the past but thanks for bringing him up, I'm gonna follow more closely. Seems like a cool dude, and def a great poker player.

good to see these people who care about others.
this teaches us that there are still good people in this world.
there is nothing better than helping to feel good

Oh, that's really cool! You know, when celebrities give 500 $ or 1000 $ for charity it's like - eh.
But 69000 $! It is amazing! Respect, Andre!

André is a good player and most importantly, a good man. I'm portuguese too.

He's good player with many skills, always watch him playing on pks to improve my game.

is incredible that could turn $ 100 bankroll at $ 69200.55.
at first his goal was to turn the $ 100 into $ 100,000, could not reach that sifra but it is still a great achievement.
any of us would like us to convert $ 100 in at least $ 1000
