Doyles Room's software has a sleek looking design with an oldtime pokerdays feel. It seems like you're at the felt when playing on this site which is quite refreshing than just watching numbers go up and down.

On the minus side, Lobby information does not include the view flop percentage.
Starting Bonus | 6.0 | Flush
On top of the 50% bonus up to $250 recieved if you use code HPRULES, Doyles Room gives you the choice of $55 free as well as an entry to the bounty tournament or Doyle Brunson's book, Super System 2, the long anticipated follow up to the poker bible known as Super System.

Promotions | 4.0 | Three of a Kind
Not a leader by any means in the promotions category. Doyles Room offers progressive Royal Flush Jackpots which increase each day, refer-a-friend bonuses and an Action Point loyalty program where you can use your points to enter special freerolls and other tournaments.
Competition | n/a | n/a
Many people and professionals alike gauge soft competition by the view flop % alone. While a high % would indicate a looser game, it doesn't necessarily mean the players are playing weak poker. Also, a large amount of traffic is often correlated with many soft players fish. Keep in mind, with more fish in the water, more sharks soon follow. The trick to finding an easy game in the middle to low limits is simple, keep an eye on the table and watch for weak play, loose calls and players looking to draw out or playing weak aces. Know your game, know your strengths and abuse those strengths. For more information on poker play please see our Strategies section.
