I see a lot a ******ed posts here.
Such as Europeans or Portuguese don't/can't speak fluent english. Must be a new US law that applies to the whole world.
Europeans don't dream of dollar bills... well gotta agree with that! They prefer euro bills.

Now... did anyone ever wonder why he posted this story in the first place?
And why YOU are commenting on it?

Good job Zé!

lol if this is a level, its pretty good

"About 15 minutes in, I got dealt KK UTG. I raised 3.5x, the fish 3-bet me UTG+1, and it folded around to the SB who made a large 4-bet. It was the fish’s first 3-bet and the reraiser was extremely tight. I stared at my hand for a while and made a crying hero fold... the fish shoved, and the SB called. It was AKs vs AA. I was so ecstatic at my fold, it gave me so much confidence"

this is so cliché lol

ok, with other topics in that story, now i believe in this.
And the most important:

I dont understand what is the mediatism arround jose´s story, and why?
Because a guy that live in Quinta da Marinha (houses with the simbolic price of 6.000.000€) is a rich guy, so 1million of $ in poker is nothing.

But dont tell the "bla bla bla" that your bankroll was created only with 30€.

The true Portuguese prodigy poker guy is PhounderAA or Phounder, he is the best, he play with the bests, and he build his bankroll started without nothing, because he´s not a rich guy.

A kid loaded with money, living in quinta da marinha, deposited 30 euro and ran it to 1 mil.. yea, not likely.

If he's real, he'll soon be playing the best players like Durrrr etc, so who cares?

This is a clear level

- Account only started poasting fairly legit poasts in December last year

- The English is near perfect, and not remotely littered with those small errors from Europeans, that astute language readers can see

- All of the other inconsistencies pointed out.

http://pokerpt.com/noticias/1-jogado...digy-sera.html

Even Portuguese poker knows nothing about him, as the link above suggests. These too good to be true stories are exactly that. Kinda reminds me of this:

Clear level from a group of top players. Most of the 2p2 team and carpal tunnels are in on it as well, by the looks of things.

Eu estava brincando

Também falo Português (sou brasileiro) e apenas posto em inglês, é o natural a se fazer visto que a língua vigente aqui é o Inglês.

Poderia me passar seu Skype por MP?
Obrigado.

PS: gostei muito da sua história, muito motivadora realmente.
PS2: ótimo Inglês, melhor que o meu

pretty cool that a current highstakes balla wants a part of the 2p2 world

Quote:

I look up from my desk, and there’s a board suspended on the wall. I made it a year ago when I was 17, when reaching the top of the poker world was still just a silly fantasy. On this board there are four pictures cut out and pasted… a crisp green million dollar bill, a picture of a WSOP bracelet, a screenshot of Durrrr sitting at Rail Heaven, and a photo of a little house in Hawaii.

^^ might be one of my favorite things read on 2p2

also, your writing isn't that great.

Yes I'd like to wager 10$ that this is fake. The story has to be real and has to be about Jose Macedo specifically. PM me.

Man, I just read most of this thread, some of these replies just make me want to cut my eyes out. After Haseeb offers action any ANY AMOUNT, there is literally nothing else to say on the matter. I guess if people missed his post and a few others it would be reasonable to maintain skepticism, but the "lol nice try" posts are pretty cringeworthy.

Sweet story for sure though, makes me wish I had that kind of discipline.

Standard of English is sick, a lot better than some native-English speaking posters here, to be sure.

Wish you all the best, Jose.
