    I saw him in the PLO8 UKOPS side event, wasn't on my table but was playing. Don't think he's still working with them.

    Ed is a great analyst, but hes just abit too honest !  

    People don't like having there play slagged off etc...  
    Personally i think hes great, and will be a big miss if he has left. 

    Sky prefer the more lovey dovey, "that was an unorthadox play" rubbish ...

    I reckon he's moved on as he hasn't been seen for a couple of months now, and his last appearance was very much a one off. But remember the analysts aren't contracted to Sky they are all freelance. Sky's a bit like Talksport radio, they never explain when a presenter moves on. It's like Lisa Marie Long she was meant to be presenting the SPT after she stopped studio work I believe but no sighting of her for months now?

    LML moved to LA.  Bit of a commute for her to come do an SPT weekend :)

    Hello Skypoker fans and forum viewers,

    I have indeed left skypoker. It has been an absolute delight to see the community grow. Much respect to the Skypoker bosses for the chance they gave me and I will always be greatful to them.

    When we started broadcasting in Feb 2007 the standard of play was simply shocking across the site, Skypoker had vision and their remit was to school the amateur player hence our jobs as analysts was to keep the analysis simple and directed towards the new player.

    Fast forward 5 years to a site where the best players on Skypoker are literally world class and a large percentage are BIG winning players, couple that with the standard of the skypoker regs who can mix it with anyone in the uk.

    I think we can safely say SkyPoker got it right.

    Congratulations to you the players for building the community it has been a pleasure to have been a very small part of it. I will be playing alot of live poker around the uk during the next few months before the cricket season  starts so if I wasnt "too" honest about your play over the last few years please come say hi and if I was too honest Id be delighted to buy you a pint.

    Flop well   Ed

     Have to say I think SKY will miss Ed, believed him to be one of the best presenters they had and always enjoyed the show when he was on. Thunk he will be a hard act to follow.
     Good luck Ed and hope to see you on the TV soon.

    This guy was a great member of the SkyPoker team.  I remember watching him for the first time during 'Total Player' and being impressed with his strategy explanations.  It would be good to see him back even as a guest analyst on one of the shows .
