Hi Everyone!

First of all, I would like to say that English is not my first language, so please forgive me for any typing errors...

Just introducing myself, I'm 26 years old right now, I live in Brazil and I play/study Texas Holdem by myself since I was a kid - back in 2009. I have played Sit and Gos for my entire life, mostly hyper turbos. Long story short, in 2021 I have started playing the fifty50's on Pokerstars. Please see below some of my results from Pokertracker4 and Sharkscope.

Entire Life


Entire 2021


Fifty50's - $7


Fifty50's - $15


Fifty50's - $30



Fifty50's - $ALL STAKES



I have never participated in any type of forum, coach sessions, or poker teams so I wonder if my results could be considered solid and consistent in the long run? Not sure if I have enough data to confirm this.

I'm starting to make more $/hour than my job at the moment, so this is getting me kind of frustrated with my job.. lol . But at the same time, I'm not confident yet to make a decision like this - don't believe I'll have support from family or friends so I need to hear some other opinions

Also, on another subject, I have never found any good study material for the fifty50's. Does anyone know what would be the main things I would need to study besides ICM? I'm using PT4 and ICMIZER for now... Does anyone recommend another software?

Thank you, guys!

Looks pretty solid to me. Good job.

gl man and the fifty50s are same **** as DON's?

F50s you get paid based on your stack vs dons where everyone gets the same. This is because army of chinese cheats colluded etc in dons back in the day.

Good work.
Can you access PartyPoker from Brazil?
Why did you move from hypers?

Yes man, I can access Partypoker from Brazil. Why?

I honestly don't know.. Just tryed playing them and really liked. Also had some good results on the hypers but just felt like it had more ups and downs..

Congratulations on the results my fellow countryman, I'm also from Brazil.

I use translator to communicate with people here on the forum.

I only play PLO5, I'm learning texas at the moment (cash/sit go micro), just playing to learn.

Poker is still very obscure in Brazil, in the past I was successful as an omaha player in cash games lives, but I didn't have family support because I always made bad decisions (alcohol and drugs), so I didn't play for about 5 years and I'm currently playing PLO200 on PPPoker, I got the support of my family when I started to contribute to household expenses (I live with my parents), show how good poker can be, and avoid emotional breakdown caused by playing in front of people that you want to be supported.


As for the graphics, well... if you've got the bankroll to play go ahead, I'm not a sit go graphics connoisseur, but they look solid.

You get good RB & leaderboards. And you might get double points, depending on your timezone.

Hey man, really appreciate your post. I'm from Brazil as well an can identify myself with the things you said there.

Your stats and results looks pretty solid for me, despite of me not knowing much about SNGs (I am an MTT pro). Just subbed your thread, looking forward for your next post. If you want to share experiences, I have an thread to!

Cheers and best of luck on your path mate!
