Do you Know what happened to Mike Parry ? he just seemed to vanish of the face of the earth, he was always a permanant fixture on them clips.

Mike Parry quit about a year ago. Not sure why but I know his health had been very bad. I"ve heard him on Fighting talk once since and I think he"s stood in on 606 a couple of times
--- End quote ---
didn"t he quit in protest at the appointment of Keys and Gray
AceOnTheRiver:
It"s possible. The timing was about right.

Re Mike Parry, found him, he is still alive and kicking he is still broadcasting on sportstonightlive.com, got a random tweet yesterday, weird how this world works.
Nothing happening on the Poker front, choice today between £100 game at G or Boro v Hull choosing the later as its a chance to meet with some mates, and get some fresh air and a few drinks.
I packed in going to football a few years ago, but missed the social side, starting to feel the love again. Come on Boro !.

After a brief break from Poker over the holidays decided to fire up a couple of tables on 888 and on Stars with a nice bink in the end, although there will be a couple of bad beat s thrown in, i will place 50p in the old tin.
888 played 2 games $22 $3k freeze out pretty standard ending 88 me, shoving 15bbs into kj and losing standard stuff.
The other game $3 rebuy managed to get a decent stack with 1 rebuy and and 1 add on was up to 40k, villain limps utg 99 i re raise with 10 10 it all goes in pre 9 first card out gg me, on other sites i might fold the 10 10 there with 35 bigs but on 888 its usually +ev so no cash on 888 today, bumped into Ger on one table dont know if he cashed or not will have a look later.
Onto Stars played the 8k 1 rebuy 1add on $8 game, lost 1st stack aq v q7 on nearly decided to ditch it, but rebought, to cut a long story short managed to finish 6th/1313 runners for $951, my penultimate hand was as follows raise utg Ah As, reraise by me Ac Ad all in pre 2.6 million chips, heart, heart on flop heart turn, heart river just had to laugh.
Does this class as a bad beat ?, as once the 2 hearts hit the flop he has the advantage all be it slight.
Happy with the $951 but first prize was $4k, oh well onwards and upwards.
Hope you all enjoyed the festivities and I would just like to wish every one a happy, healthy and prosporous new year.

Not a great deal to report on the poker front in the last week or so, a few deep runs on stars losing the important flips at the business end of tournaments, min cashes for the win, still $899 profit in jan on stars.
On 888 losing about $65, min cashed in a couple, one cooler hand in $4k gteed,on the cash bubble sitting in 4th place with 35 bigs 20 paid,get into a raising war with the chip leader, i thought he was just abusing the bubble I get it all in with QQ v KK, I didn"t bink the Q so went out in 21st one of the cash.
The way the pay structure is on 888 min cashing between 10 20 not worth folding there just to min cash going for the win every time.
I also decided to play a few sngs on Stars to see if I can boost bankroll a bit, after a decent start 2 wins and a 3rd $15 games didnt cash in about 10, can"t see myself grinding these as they are so dull, will prob play the odd you or 2 and if I win one just use winnings for a higher buy in mtt.
Had a load of problems with HEM this week as well thought I had lost 3 years worth of data but it"s sorted now seems to be working ok.
Instead of the sngs have decided to have a little dabble in the cash games I have about 40 buy ins for 50 nl so gave that a little go last night played about 300 hands made $12,peak being $55 lowest being -$32 bit swingy. At the moment only playing 1 table just to get used to the differences between mtts and cash, will prob add a 2cd table if I have double up on first or drop to 25nl and play two or three tables.
Live poker got a 3rd at the local G this week got it in good aq v a10 v Stuart who binked nh gg Gl and Riley"s got in good qq v 10 7 v Stuart who again binked nh gg Gl. All fairly standard stuff in the late game.
Looking forward to Apat game tonight, off to watch Boro this afternoon, may meet up in the game tonight if not run good,be lucky and good health.
