Good luck Paul

Paul Spillane announced on the Irish Poker Boards forum last Thursday that he was parting ways with Boylepoker.

Under Paul's guidance, Boylepoker has made great strides over the last two or so years. We moved from just being an online poker provider, to playing an integral part in the wider Irish poker scene.

The initiative to become the first Irish site to support and sponsor Irish players was greatly welcomed by all players in the country.

Turning the Boylepoker.com site into a semi social network, where thousands come every week to read the blogs, view videos and listen to radio, was a brilliant strategy, that created interaction and built relationships with customers.

Boyle's involvement in the IPO gave everyone the opportunity to experience a major tournament for the cost of a monthly club game.

I think it's fair to say Paul should be very proud of what he's achieved in his time at Boylepoker. I'm sure the innovative, visionary and dynamic team he leaves behind will build upon his legacy.

I should add my goodwill towards Paul exists only away from the golf course - on the course the guy has the morals of a Somali pirate.
