Summary
Use our special referral code "PHU25" (capital letters) FREE $25.00  Doyles 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 Hi 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. Real money player statistics - July 2005: 800-1100 ring game players at peak hours, 2000-2700 tournament players at peak hours.

Software and graphics
Doyles 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.

Ring game traffic
The Doyles Room network currently has 800-1100 ring game players at peak hours.

Tournament traffic
The traffic at the tournaments is better than at ring games, with a solid 2000-2700 players currently at peak hours.

Game variety
The game variety at Doyles Room is not so good, with only Holdem and Omaha Hi-Lo and High (all available in both limit, pot-limit and Holdem in no-limit as well). Table stakes are from $0.02/$0.04 to $50/$100. There are both single- and multi-table tournaments. Within shortly seven-card stud High and Hi-Lo will be added.

Rake
The rake at Doyles Room is at the average of the industry. On limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 max rake, on all other tables there is a max $3 rake. There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.

Soft competition
The competition is quite soft at Doyles Room, thanks to the clientele from other network partners such as Victor Chandler (online sports book) and Golden Palace (online casino). There are not many high stakes games though, so for players looking to make good hourly net profit, Doyles Rooms is quite OK, but not great.

Sign up bonus
