POKER ROOM REVIEW - DOYLES ROOM

Doyle's Room is a fast growing poker room, managed by poker legends Doyle Brunson and Mike Caro. In a special campaign you get Doyles Super/System 2, the long-awaited follow-up to the “poker bible” Super/System. Doyles Room shares its technology and player base with the large Tribeca Table network (Victor Chandler Poker, etc). Doyles Room is one of the very few rooms in the network, which is open for US players. The software has a nice interface and offers good playability. Currently, Holdem and Omaha games are accommodated, but within shortly seven-card stud and Hi-Lo will be added. There are both single- and multi-table tournaments. The tournaments actually have the highest traffic in this poker room, with lots of good value free rolls.

DOYLES ROOM - INTERFACE
Doyle's Room software is developed by Tribeca Tables, with nice graphics and good functionality. On the positive side, there are features like; buddy list function, private tables, pot- and no-limit ring games, live floor managers, overall nice graphics and multi-table tournaments. However, there are some let downs; lobby information does not include view flop percentage and almost only games in Texas Holdem. The game information is a bit messy and confusing but like with anything, it takes time to get used to.
DOYLES ROOM - PLAYER TABLES

The graphics and software has greatly been improved upon lately. Not only can you add your player image to represent you at the table but the quality is first class. As it is by Tribeca, it shares the same network as Victor Chandler Poker. You have a large chat and log window which you can move freely or cancel altogether. Very professional looking interface. It is not only a definite design job but extremely easy to use with nice graphics and good functionality. There is a 1x, 2x, 4, 8x, 16x or max (all in) Big Blind raise facility. Only really annoying thing is that in PL and NL games, there is no bar to determine raise (you have to type it in). Very fast with nice sound functions. Good server reliability and decent player volumes. There are features like buddy list function, private tables, and live floor managers.

DOYLES ROOM - RING GAMES

Doyle's Room is growing steadily as it is part of the Tribeca network. There are now often well over 1,500 ring game players online at peak hours. Fairly limited limits and most action is naturally at Texas Hold Em.

POKER VARIANT FORM STAKE IN US$ MAX NO. PLAYER

DOYLES ROOM - TOURNAMENTS

Doyle's Room has an extensive tournament list with around 100 scheduled tournaments daily. There is quite a lot of action at the single table (sit and go) tournaments as well with buyin from as little as 10 cents to $500! It is thus understandable why the traffic at the tournaments is often better than at ring games with several thousand at peak hours. Doyles Room has a number of player freerolls of any online poker room. However, most of them require player points as entry fee. There are very low buyin satellites (less than a $1) to the larger multi-tournaments.

The interface is ok, good if you only play one table, but playing multiple tables is hard because there is only one box for chatting, you can get either 25% of deposit or free copy of supersystem 2 when you put in real money. The number of people is not too big, average amount. Highest limits are 50/100 limit and 5/10 at no limit. most tables are for either 9 people or 6 people. Depositing is easy and fast, done through the regular services.

There are three types of people. Those who can count, and those who can't.
