I am José "Girah" Macedo, the so-called "Portuguese Poker Prodigy" - Page 9 - Poker News

I go to school with Jose Girah Macedo (we all call him ze) (and also Christian (blestboy) and Henrique (baratoid)), we all go to an english school in Carcavelos called St.Julian's School hence the high standard of Ze's english. We're currently doing the IB diploma (international baccalaureate), which we started after recieving our GCSE diplomas.

I've been best friends with Ze for ages now, he's a big brother to me, I always look up to him, his determination, his academic brilliance and his drive to make everyone around him feel inspired and passionate about their talents and desires. I've made myself an account to confirm Ze's story. He is real. And to those of you who are pulling out ridiculous facts out of your asses, like the one i have quoted above- I suggest you confirm your statements before publishing them on a thread viewed by hundreds of people.

To all of those who don't believe Ze's story- **** you. You're all ****ing nerdy ***** who sit on their ****ing computers thinking they'll one day make something of their lives, jacking off to cheap lesbian porn to make yourselves feel a bit better about your insignificant existence and writing stupid comments "remaining sceptical" about ze's identity.

I wish you could all meet him, he's absolutely amazing. You would all be in awe of him and I can't wait for you guys to start seeing him play live.

Here's his facebook page:

And mine if you doubt me:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1065477659

And the funniest thing of all is that some of you will still doubt his story, I feel sorry for you lot. Asswipes.

My lesbian porn isn't cheap, it's free

Wow. He needed your help when you consider this was his 8th post on this site? Fun stuff.

I think his turn raising range is polarized enough that you can check behind here. That said, provided you dont think he will bluffraise you(and I think this is a fair assumption for the majority of 400nl regs), I think its concievable to bet/fold ~50-100 to get called by random 66/AcX hands that he spazzed raised turn with. Also, I don't think he should check this river with any hand in his range, which is why this is a strange spot.

Bravo. Thank goodness someone else knows that there's an itch that only cheap lesbian porn can scratch sometimes.

it's sad that so many posters try their best to make good players never wanna post here again. maybe be grateful instead that there still are some good players left sharing their good stuff?

Ok, I'm probably going to get a lot of abuse and I'm guessing not many will believe this but Girah sent me a PM about 30 mins ago confirming that IFS is indeed his friend (see my earlier post) and giving me his skype to talk more and answer any questions.

So I of course added him to skype, we chatted for a bit and I was curious as to why he sent me the PM. He is a little upset about all of the non believers and people doubting so he has sent a few PM's out adding some people to skype so he can prove he is real.

We did a video chat and he showed me his photo ID, the picture matched and the name matched, so there is definitely a Jose Macedo out there, and Girah is his 2+2 account.

So I guess if this is a level then jungleman et al. have also found a young Portugeuse looking gentleman with the name Jose Macedo or have acquired a fake ID for him lol, to prove to me, a random 2+2er with no real credibility around here that he is indeed legitimate.

Obviously you could think I'm lying lol, but he's a pretty open guy so feel free to PM him!

A few other tidbits, for all you guys, he really loves poker, he wants to be the best poker player in the world and he will be mad at me if I make him sound cocky! lol

Lot of fun to talk to and a very nice person. Enjoy.

i also live in cascais, the location on the FB page, and i know that school, and i can vouch for their english language comprehension, all the kids here speak fluent english (i guess most/lots of them go there), sometimes annoyingly talking half portuguese half english.

Also won a couple of "is he english or portuguese" propbets.

anyway, just read this, story makes sense. probably seen him dozens of times heh. congrats josé

Great read! Thanks for sharing OP. You seem like an excellent guy, I hope you keep advancing, and I am sure you will based on the level of dedication to the game you have.

To the analytical geniuses in the thread enlightening us with their BS about this being "obvious leveling" etc. please GTFO!

still want to know what ever happened to that "LookingForProdigy" guy...this random guy with 0 posts somehow finds out about this Portuguese kid, makes this huge deal about it (going so far as to offer $, and even wanting to go to the kids school :S) then magically disappears

**** you krunchie, unless you'd like to enlighten us with your inspiration life story about dedication and passion.

On a nicer note- I was just speaking to ze/jose/girah and he has an exam tomorrow but he said that he'll be answering all the questions posted on this thread after his exam so feel free to ask him whatever you like.

Take care my lovelies.

Why does he have no poker friends on Facebook? OR is Skype easier to use to network your way into poker's elite?
