New to online poker im ecalien on ps, looking for good 08, stud, s8, n razz games if u wanna look me up. Would like to try out another site as well, im looking in Doyles direction. Who should i give my rake to besides ps?

DoylesRoom rocks

Wow - I had a terrible experience with Doyles Room. When they joined Microgaming, somehow they managed to lock my account.

To cut a long story short, it took me over 3 months to get my funds back, including numerous phone calls and close to 50 emails. I also had to make an additional deposit before I could withdrawal. The second I was able to access it, I withdrew the funds and closed my account and put the nightmare behind me.

Furthermore, I did not like the tournament / SnG structures (not important if you play primarily cash). The basic structure when I last played (across Microgaming) is too fast and basically a crapshoot.

I am not a US based player, so this has nothing to do with US-player issues.

FTP has all those games. and you can sign up for rakeback. but the rake is a little high on the $10 games

In my experience, I've played at FTP, Bodog, and Stars. Stars blows both sites out of the water. Stick with stars.

Also sometimes sites play differently, and if you're a beginner, switching between sites can be difficult. Because say stars has a more educated donk, at the 10nl tables. They will be a bit more predictable, and maybe not as loose. Where as Doyles room may have really uneducated players, and play super aggressive with ATC and you have to readjust your game for it.

That being said, a good poker player should be able to adjust to the table. However for a beginner trying to graps basic principles, and learn the game more. It is almost counter productive to do something like this.

Just another view point on this, that I haven't seen anyone discuss.

Stars is the best, i love it. But you are right in so many ways.

PS is too Disney/politically-correct for my tastes. Ive been banned from chat because of sensitive players (only for an hour though) (I said 'ass' to my friend, another player was offended by the non-Christian nature of it and called a mod/rinse&repeat), plus Disneyland wouldnt hire me because I was too ugly. PS gives me a ImUsingWindows feeling, as if Im not welcome unless Im like those people you see pictures of while intsalling Windows. Its hard to explain. Dont get me wrong. PS is a very good site, I just feel out of place there.

Also. DoylesRoom rocks if you want to try the 0 to $1000 challenge

Ok, I was on tilt when I posted that. PokerStars rocks. I take bakc those things I said. I will never post bad things again.

Any other experience about this room recently? How is the software and the player base?

If you live in one of these states then Doyles is out of the question.

Is there any rakeback on doyles room?

bump

Instead of waiting two weeks and bumping the thread, maybe there's some other place(s) to find the information you seek, no? Hmm....

I've only played one freeroll over there. Didn't like the interface it was too generic.

Yes, DoylesRoom is a good place to play.

are you sure this is still true? now they say only Washington and Louisiana are out.

what caused your account to be locked?

Never played there myself but I heard it sucks ass from numerous posts on this forum.

I have played there and it does suck ass major big time. Horrible cashout policies....want to make money?...

THEN DON'T PLAY DOYLES ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doyles room is god awful. You will not be able to withdraw not to mention the guaranteed tournament canceling fiasco recently. Stay away. I recommend these rooms.

Stars - hands down best site
Full Tilt - good site get rakeback first
Bodog - get rakeback at rake the rake
If you want to play on Cake Network like doyles room so bad go to a different skin.

Don't blame Christians for pokerstars logic, the word "ass" is in the Bible! And don't you realize that Doyle is a Christian. I haven't played much on the new latest Doyles, the old Doyles were more critical of obscenity than pokerstars ever was.

Anyway, I don't get it, I've had idiots talk much, much worse than the word "ass" on jokerstars, uh, pokerstars, and they just gave me the "you can ignore others chat if it offends you" answer. Funny thing is, I usually don't complained about someones expletive deleteds, but, I did complain about long passages in other languages, who when I told them English only they started cussing me out and much worse than using the word "ass". I even had a moderator come in the room and say, "you have to speak English only if another player complains".

Funny, how jokerstars actual rules are english only and NOT, you have to speak English only, only if another player complains. And the idiots sent me the standard email that said "you can ignore others in chat". When I replied to that, asking if they really just wanted me to ignore other chatters obviously discussing the current hand in other languages or not so obvious perhaps, they said sorry ,that was the standard answer they accidently sent out and that they had informed the players involved to speak English only now. Anyway, I'm suprised your tablemates didn't just get the standard answer and are you getting away with a lot of cussing on Doyles now?

Stick to your guns if that's how you feel than that's how you feel.

wouldn't ever play there myself

There have been three Doyles Rooms. The first decided to not allow certain american players but their software was unable to detect where players were from so they transfered my money and some players points to Full tilt. At that time Doyle Brunson stood up and said no ones money would be lost and I didn't lose a thing. The second Doyles room was microgaming, which may have been the best for day-to-day play but, lost some services when Doyles left there.

I decided to cash out of Doyles Microgaming and the transaction was delayed for weeks at least or was it months. My money ended up over are Doyles-Cake-network when I cancelled the cash out. By then I was using another method to buy-in and cash out, and I cashed out there a few weeks later. I cashed out of Doyles-Cake-network b/c I could not track my play with PT2 or hold em mngr. I am considering depositing there in the the future. I have no complaints against Doyles-Cake-network or Doyles room itself.

The only real problem I ever had was when Micro Gaming was closing out Americans and they were transfering to Cake-network. That's not counting the problem of moving from network to network three times though. Doyle, Caro, and Todd play there or it would not be considered Doyles Room or at least some combination of pros, the latest promotion for the weekly bounty tournament mentions Mike Caro, Pam Brunson and Zachary Clark.

How about Doyles Room canceling a recent gtd tournament because they didn't think enough players had entered. That is just shady. Even Bodog doesnt pull stuff like that.
