You will see him sometimes showing up at ring games under the username Tex_Dolly, or at tournament where they put a bounty on his head. You may also come across Mike Caro, another famous poker player and writer, who is one of Doyle's closest friend.

Software

DoylesRoom's software is clean and functional. The lobby is easy to maneuver and let you zoom into the type of tables you are interested in, like 10 seated, 6-max or heads-up. Additionally there is an unusual tool that lets you filter any stake range for your game selection; for example you can screen all tables from $1/$2 to $2/$4 stakes. The software is not too fancy, but solid and dependable, with clean graphics. DoylesRoom is currently part of the MicroGaming network but they are in the process of switching to a network more friendly with US players, and they may use a different skin in the near future.

Traffic

At DoylesRoom, the traffic in ring games is mostly found in low stakes no limit Texas Hold'em, with many 6-max and full ring tables running at any time, and a few heads up tables. There are also always at least twenty active fixed limit tables.

Tournaments

DoylesRoom operates many tournaments. On a daily basis, they have regular low buy-in tournaments from $1.1 to $22. The daily $2k Guaranteed has a $5.5 buy-in. For higher buy-ins, the daily $2.5k Guaranteed gathers a smaller crowd of about 30 willing to pay the entrance price of $110.

They also offer satellites to their bigger buy-in tournaments, such as $11 satellites to the Saturday $50k Guaranteed, $6.5 satellites to the Sunday $175k Guaranteed and $6.5 satellites to the Sunday Rebuy $150k Guaranteed.

Competition

On one hand, high stake action is quite limited at DoylesRoom. On the other hand, some good players signed on only for the opportunity to play against Doyle Brunson or Mike Caro, as this is the only poker room where you can rub elbows with them on the Internet. This creates a mixed competition, but overall games are on the easy side as most of the action takes place at the low limits. You also get great incentives on top of the sign-on bonus, like nightly freerolls, the Bad Beat Jackpot and the Loyalty Points rewards.

Money Transfer Methods

Summary

DoylesRoom is ideal for beginners as it provides very cheap micro stakes ring games and micro buy-in tournaments, where you can learn the ropes before your teeth grow longer. For more advanced players, would you not like to have a chance to play a few hands against Doyle Brunson himself?

If you join his room, you can play against Doyle on a regular basis, and there is often a bounty on his head at the regular tournaments.
