Main Review:

There is no greater force in the history of poker than Doyle Brunson . Texas Dolly is not only a ten time World Series of Poker champion (and 2 time Main Event champion) but he is credited with having brought No Limit Texas Hold’em to Las Vegas. That credibility has lent itself to DoylesRoom, one of the largest rooms on the US friendly Cake Poker Network. Multiple bounty tournaments featuring the world’s top pros (Doyle included amongst them) run alongside a weekly $100K tournament and monthly $250K tournament. Top notch security and customer support teams keep DoylesRoom in the favorite poker destinations of thousands players worldwide.

Brunson himself plays at DoylesRoom under the screen name TexDolly, so if you are up for the challenge you can take him on. Other famous poker pros play at the site as well, such as Doyle’s son, Todd Brunson, and legendary pros Mike Caro, Minh Ly and Men Nguyen

DoylesRoom - Game Types:

DoylesRoom has all of the standards and a few rarities. They feature No Limit, Pot Limit, and Fixed Limit Texas Hold’em , Pot Limit and Fixed Limit Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud, Razz and H.O.R.S.E. DoylesRoom, like every other room, sees most of its traffic in the Hold’em variants but will also see a healthy number of PL Omaha tables and multi-variant (like H.O.R.S.E.) tables rolling as well. Stakes range from the micro and pretend to $100/$200 professional level blinds.

DoylesRoom pride and joy is in its regular tournaments. Several bounty tournaments run weekly featuring such pros as Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson, Mike “The Mad Genius” Caro and Hoyt “All-in” Corkins. Knock out a pro and pick up a little dough on your way to a $25,000+ guaranteed prize pool.
 
Standard sit and goes get up and running every second at DoylesRoom, Special sit and goes, such as the Rounders series where players can begin with a $5 buy-in and work up to a $3000 payday just for winning 5 consecutive sit and goes.
As for the massive multi-table tournaments, the CakePoker Network site runs two regulars. The first is the weekly $100K guaranteed prize pool tourney where the winner can expect at the very least, a $20,000 payday (not accounting for any deals which may be reached along the way.) The second is the monthly $250,000 guaranteed prize pool (both guaranteed prize pool tourneys are of the NL Hold’em variety) where the winner will generally see somewhere around a $50,000 top prize.

Then you’ve got any number of seasonal live big-buy-in tournament satellites. These range from all inclusive packages to the World Series of Poker to entry into the Irish Poker Open (a $7,000 package.) If you want to find your way into one of those big time tournaments aired on television then you can find no better outlet than Doyle Brunson’s own DoylesRoom.

As far as bonuses go, DoylesRoom offers a 110% sign up bonus on up to the first $500. So sign up, get playing and more than double your money for nothing. You can also get involved in any number of CakePoker Network bonuses including its wildly popular rake race series. 

DoylesRoom - Software and Features:

While no one will be mistaking DoylesRoom for World of Warcraft (at least not graphically,) its engine is strong and its graphics are serviceable. The lobby is relatively easy to navigate once players make use of their customizable favorite games tab and the classic green table top is easy on the eyes. Their large selection of games and tournaments should be noted here as well as the technological requirements in running that many tournaments is quite high.

Though the poker room is bereft of all extraneous decorations (ie potted plants, avatars, etc, etc) its straightforward approach to poker can be refreshing in the long haul. They’re not trying to sugarcoat the poker with graphics and gadgets – a respectable position.

Though the graphics are pared back, the player options are not. Thorough players notes, players chat and player tracker options are all available to players who find their way to DoylesRoom. In addition, DoylesRoom allows players to make non-public private games to work out whatever poker they need to work out outside of the public eye. These private games can be of the cash game variety, the sit and go or even a multi-table tournament if you so choose.

You’re also looking at multiple options in the way CakePoker Network perks available to you as long as you are an active member of any site on the CakePoker Network (including PlayersOnly Poker, RedStar Poker and of course, Cake Poker .)

DoylesRoom - Behind the Scenes:

Any site sporting Doyle Brunson as its front man will certainly feature a substantial ethical push. DoylesRoom is at the top of the heap in terms of security, availability and customer support.

In the way of customer support, DoylesRoom offers a live chat option available 24/7, multiple email addresses depending on the nature of your question/concern and 2 different international toll free hotlines.

In the way of security, DoylesRoom employs a 128-bit encryption system and a rather deliberate transaction process (which often draws complaints from users however what is sacrificed in speed is gained in security.) There has never been a major cheating or payout scandal in the history of DoylesRoom.
 
Strong security and strong customer service combine with top notch bonuses and the still US friendly CakePoker Network to spell out a site which Doyle Brunson himself is comfortable putting his name on. That fact, above all else, should tell you everything that you need to know about DoylesRoom.
