    Den you have been (and always will be) an absolute legend always around for help and advise whether on the forum or by PM and your poker skills ain't to bad either...:)

    It sounds as tho you have both made a very wise decision to put family first and  to put poker on the shelf for the time being (If its up yet ;) )  

    Good luck to both of you and all the best for the future. 

    PS Beware of the frying pan.        :))

    Denis, I'm sure you have put much thought into your decision and everyone should respect it. You will always be a member of Team51, whether you play or not, and you know you are both welcome on the FB site anytime you choose. Pop in from time to time and let us know how you are getting on please. Alan ps. Ignore the trolls

     Annie , Steve & Paige take no notice of this guy ,
    you three come across as real nice peeps .

    I think his bullying posts are a disgrace ,
    especially the ones attacking Annie & Steve .
    I will save them here for the mods to review ,
    just incase he tries to delete and deny them .

    If yours are as big a handful as my 9 and 5 year olds then I totally understand!!
    Family always comes first.
    Thanks for all your help and advise over the past year or so whether directly or indirect via the forum/clinic.
    Has helped a lot.
    Will miss it though :)

    Good luck and have fun.
    Maybe you can play a live game or 2 when you need a break!!

    Yeah I posted on that thread, Have a read at what I said.

    Soo im confused as to what your point is?   Are you really/stupidly trying to insinuate that because I think rover is pathetic that I dont care about a person losing a loved one?

    Lets try and link this situation with a tragedy??

    I hate to say this bud but you are demeaning your own condolance post.

    Also it is highly unlikely having read many of your posts that I will ever eat my words in relation to what you say as I have a habit of thinking.

    Hiya Dennis, Sorry to hear about your decision, you will be sorely missed here. It does seem like a drastic measure for someone with your discipline. Anyhow, I hope you don't regret it in the long term.

     I will give you a ring and see if we can meet in the white horse ( or somewhere ) soon, Good luck mate!

    Ok I asked spottyball to show me what this thread has to do with the tragedy of losing a loved one and no reply as yet, 

    Now im asking you  What has this thread got to do with losing a loved one????/

    Please dont cowardly come in take a swipe and run,  Back up your comments or be quiet.

    Ill take a stab in the dark and try to understand yours and spottyballs feeble minds.

    Could It be that you two are likening me boaking at saint dens Im such a loving father post to death??

    The only thing spotty ball managed to achieve was to bring onto this thread a real tragedy that has nothing to do with this thread.

    I wish the man who suffered the loss of his wife all the strength he can muster and truly feel for him and hope he doesnt read spottys misuse of his loss.

    Spornys post in my opinion unlike yours was an awful post.

    I havent had the pleasure of meeting you yet irishrover but giving up something you enjoy to spend more time with your family gets big respect from me, your family and loved ones are very lucky to have you.

    I wish you all the best for the future and very happy xmas and new year.

    Take care of yourself.

    Good decision, Online poker is a time sink. Unless you have absolutly nothing else to do or are making buckets of money at it do something else, your future self will thankyou.

    A fine player who helped me a lot during my early days playing the 9.25 £100 Guaranteed that Leedslad (where is Leedslad?) and yourself always took down!

    Online poker takes over your life at times, it's way too easy to get a game

    Good decision, I wish I had dedicated more time to my family when I had the chance

    Enjoy the break

    I remember a couple of years ago yourself and I meeting on deepstack final tables pretty much everyday. I always thought you were 1 of the best tournament players on Sky and its a shame you never pushed yourself to move up stakes. Maybe when you come back you might try and do that.

    I thought i hadn't seen you around for a while, but it's still a bit of a shock but i respect your decision. Remember the original star trek series? Its five year mission that went on for decades, i suppose your now on your own one lol. Gl and see ya in five years, god you could be grey or even bald by then lol.
