DoylesRoom Review
|
Doyle Brunson is one of the biggest names in poker
and rightly puts his name to this professionally minded poker
room.
DoylesRoom
changed networks early in 2009 properly maintaining their
dedication to US players. The move was handled smoothly with no
reported problems; in doing so, both existing and potential new
players to DoylesRoom benefited.
If the sign up and depositing bonuses aren’t enough to tempt you
into down-loading this poker client; by playing real money games at
DoylesRoom
you have the opportunity to play with one of the poker greats, Doyle
Brunson himself.

DoylesRoom
offer a limited variety of games in various betting formats with a
choice of slow and fast blind structures that are always well attended.
Players across the buy-in ranges will be satisfied with their poker
time at this room. |
 |
A large share of ring games, sit and go tournaments and scheduled
tournaments attract Texas Hold’em players, plus a good number of
Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo players also finding company.
An average approaching 2,000 real money ring game players are
online playing every hour at
DoylesRoom,
with peak times reaching 3,000 poker players going hard at it. The
trend of growth at the new network looks to be climbing.
Game formats include - Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven
Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo.
From the lobby
The functional lobby displays all game options very clearly.
Two large buttons divide the ring games and tournaments.
The ring game lobby has filters which separate the game formats on
one row and the betting formats on the next. Players may further refine
their ring game selection by table stakes, numbers seated, average/flop,
average pot and hands per hour.
Tournament players are given the choice of sit and go and scheduled
games, along with satellite, gold chip, freeroll, special event and
private options. Each tournament area can be filtered by the game
type and betting format, and may also be rationalized by game state,
number enrolled, date and more.
Sit and Go tournaments
Sit and go tournaments begin every few minutes at
DoylesRoom
with a spread of players across the $1 to £10 buy-in range. Many are
no limit Texas Hold’em games for fields of under 30 players, although
there are plenty of Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo games also taking place.
For a site of its size there is a good number of mid range buy-in
players taking their seats at $20 to $100 games; marginally less
action is seen at the higher end.
Look out for the turbo Omaha Hi/Lo games that give all-action fun;
and for a real lottery, the network Kamikaze games feature
players that are forced to go all-in with every hand.

Scheduled tournaments
There is a good mix of scheduled tournaments at
DoylesRoom
that feature plenty of guaranteed games with good overlays, and bounty
games that attract enough variety of players to make the time there
challenging and rewarding.
As an example; typically around 350 players will enter a $2.20
re-buy/add on tournament with a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool. Up
to 150 players pay an initial $5 to test their skills in the
$1,500 pot limit Omaha R/A, and the daily $10,000 bounty game
often has close to 400 players adding their $30 to the prize pool.
Higher buy-in games ($50 to $250) see 100 to 300 network entrants.
Ring games
The lower stake NLH games are the best attended, however the
action is not concentrated at the $0.02/0.04 level. Often the
$0.10/0.20, $0.25/0.50 and $0.50/1.00 ring games out-number the
micro tables. The medium stake games also draw regular players as
do the high
stake tables though in lesser numbers.
At the table
The default table layout is novel, easy on the eye and as simple
to use as any other online poker room. The selection of player
avatars may be turned off with the simplified view taking nothing
away from the atmosphere. The table is re-sizeable (handy when
multi-tabling) with four color decks also being an option.
Large clear action buttons allow players to place bets at pre-set
amounts, they may also use the slider to increase bets, or may
enter any bet amount in a text window (provided limits allow).
Hovering the cursor above your player name allows you to view your
cards if you have folded from the hand.
Common check boxes allow players to sit out, fold to any bet and
auto-post their blinds. In-play check boxes give players the
opportunity to pre-set a betting action if they make an early
decision.
An information area gives player stats and concise tournament
information, plus has a dedicated tab for player notes.
