Doyles Room

Background

 This can be said about Doyles Room --- it’s difficult for true blue poker aficionados to NOT know or at least to have not heard about Doyles Room. After all, Doyles Room has been operating in the online poker market for the past four years. One of the reasons why it is one of the most visited online poker rooms is because of the fact it is endorsed by poker legend Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson. Brunson is a 10-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and was adjudged the most influential person in the poker world by a prominent gaming magazine. It’s no wonder that thousands of players, either amateurs or professionals, visit the site and take part in numerous tournaments.

 The site encountered a setback in late 2006 after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was signed into law. Since most of the members were from the United States, there was a massive decline in traffic during that time. However, a lucrative transfer to Microgaming network made it possible for the site to once again accept U.S.-based players. This was enforced last October 18, 2007.

Features

 Poker games that are offered at Doyles Room are the ever-popular Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud, Five Card Draw and Five Card Studs. Most of the games vary from No Limit, Pot Limit to Fixed Limit. Also available are short-handed, heads-up tables and full-table games.

 Doyles Room is basically a great site for all players because there are a lot of actions on the tables. The stakes are also high which means there’s greater potential for major profits. In Fixed Limit, high-limit tables can have stakes between $150 and $300 while in No Limit Texas Hold’em, it can be between $200 and $400. What could be perceived as unusual is the absence of Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo but other than that, all is pretty much well.

 Doyles Room boasts of having up to $4 million in total monthly guarantees which means a lot are at stake for its loyal members. By the way, players can also get to compete with Brunson in some tournaments because “Texas Dolly” himself has signed up in a number of tournaments offered in the site. Other guest celebrities take part in the tournaments as well.

Traffic

 Real money players go as high as 2,000 as of current count with 10,000 tournament players generated during peak hours. With this kind of activity, it’s no wonder the players would just stick to the site since there’s more avenue to get profits and that there are more Hold’em games being conducted as well. There’s less worry for downtime because the software has been tried and tested to serve thousands of clients at the same time. The tournaments gaining more traffic are Hold’em and Omaha events.

Rake

 Doyles Room implements a fixed schedule for its rake. This is usually based on table limit and player count. Similar to other sites, the rakes are usually set at 5 percent with actual money rake between a dollar and $3. A "no flop, no drop" policy has been set in place.

Current Promotions

 New players can get a sign-up bonus of up to $550 with a deposit bonus of 110 percent. The site has the ongoing bounty tournament wherein the player will have the chance to challenge the “Texas Dolly” and other guest celebrities and win huge cash prizes.

 Satellite events for the upcoming World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas are currently ongoing. Doyles Room offers better prize packages for the winners which are the following: $3,000 for travel and accommodations, $10,000 Main Event seat, exclusive photo session with Doyle Brunson and several poker stars, an autographed Super System 1 and Super System 2 which were authored by Brunson, breakfast with Brunson to discuss possible strategies to win and several gift items.
