Under what epistemological premise dare you suggest that his heretofore struggles and successes be some cruel and elaborate hoax for the collective amusement of a few high stakes regulars? Ye gods, if I weren't but fourteen years of age and slight in build, I assure you I would inflict rapid and accurate blows upon your cheeks with my fists.

I shan't continue further; my anger has brought sweat upon my brow and I cannot be seen like this for my show and tell performance at school this morning. Suffice it to say that I pity the cynical lens through which you interpret this wonderful, but flawed world of ours. You may never share the joys that José, father and I experience when one of your own blood reaps the rewards of persistence and determination in chasing a noble dream.

Farewell,

Marco.

Fellow flamers...

OP was kind enough to send a few PMs back and forth. I sure as hell wouldn't bet against OP now. If he's not for real he's done his homework and at the very least knows Jose.

Assuming the name of this Portugese phenom is definitely Jose Macedo...I believe. Gulp

I have no idea whether this is a level or not, just here to make one point:

The high level of English displayed in the first post(s) of this thread is very plausible for a Portugese person who studied with English as their primary language.

I am an Israeli who went to an International School in Germany, and my English is better than 90+% of native English speakers I meet (both American and British).

It is very possible to do GCSEs without living in the UK (although they are then IGCSEs (I = International)).

I don't know (or care, really) whether this is a level but seriously all the people suggesting it is - simply based on the language in the posts - are stupid.

I will bet 200$ at 10 to 1 (my 200$ to win 2k) that José Macedo aka "Portuguese Poker Prodigy" didn't make 1.6kk in his last 800k hands as stated in the OP. PM me.

Whatever dude. The native speakers of English would not make the simple grammatical error you made (highlighted above)

Yes, you're right. It's not like its 7am here and I'm recovering from a heavy night. Not to mention that I'm posting on a forum on the interwebs, so I don't much care for the quality of my English.

Oh, and I have a Masters in Literature from a British University.

Edit: D'oh! I've allowed myself to be drawn in to an argument in NVG...what has become of me :S

And as I’m looking at this silly little board I made, my mind wanders to where I started my journey. I remember standing at the foot of this mountain, a 16 year old boy, looking up with dreamlike wonder. Imagining what it would be like to scale its peak. I’m not at the foot of the mountain anymore, but my story has just begun. And although sometimes this mountain can seem dauntingly tall… I’m ready for it. And I’m grateful for this chance to climb it.

Thank you everyone so much for reading, and good luck

I don't think it takes more than 5minutes to prove it to me. Good hourly imo. And why not take easy 200$?

3figures btw, sorry I'm a smallstakes player.

For what everyone wants as proof it would take more than 5 minutes. I've talked to Jose alot recently and hes as real as it gets and a really nice humble kid so you guys shouldnt bash him in anyways. If anyone actually wants to bet anything significant let me know

It won't take long to verify his identity. I'm half-portuguese, if I can talk 5minutes with him + see a video of him playing on betfair (I'm sure he has loads after all he must have studied his own play) I will be happy enough.
I'm not ********ting in anyway, I've had coaching with JM before if you want I can just ship him first.

Jose is definitely real. I've been talking with him via pm and skype quite a bit. He's a real nice guy and even offered to sweat me and give me some tips. I guess haters gonna hate.

shhhhhh why did you post that? You do know it is not allowed to make new websites in Portugal. That's why hassan made one for our Portuguese Prodigy.
I'll bet you that they'll bet you 50 to 1 now that good ol José is real, just so they can outlevel you again.

Freaky **** my man

This is gay but whatever I'm taking my bet away. Can't bet half of my roll on this and I feel I'm being free-rolled. If there is a José he will just show it to me if there isn't he will just say José doesn't agree with doing this.
