    Hey guys I am new to Doyles room. I dont really know their tourny schedule and the site looks a bit odd to me. Which tournys do they offer and when that are worthwhile?

    From what ive seen so far the site has very low volume of mtt traffic right now. However on sundays theres a 175k gtd 60+r that guarantees ~40k to first, I'm playing it today (it starts at 11am pacific) I will report back here with what I find.

    If youre american, the schedule is tough, and you'll end up playing $3 freezeouts and $20R at the same time.

    As far as during the week (assuming you work). There is a $3 1.75k gtd at 4:30 EST and $20R 17.5k at 5. There is another $3 freezeout at 5:30, but no guarantee so prize pool pretty is worthless. Also, some days will have a Six-Pack ($6R knockout) between 5-8 PM, which are REALLY easy.

    Then, the schedule dies...till around 9-10 when an incredibly easy $3R fires up, and another couple of games that I don't have time to play.

    Wednesay night at 9:30 is the bounty, $25 Freezeout with a few celebrity knockout prizes.

    On the weekends, the mornings between 8:30 and 10:30 carry some really good tournies. Then again between 12:30 and 2:30, then the rest of the schedule is the same as the week nights.

    Sunday also carries a $60R 175k that starts at 2PM.

    And that's about it. The schedule pretty much bites for Americans (ahem, DR rep) but the fields are very soft, and small.

    I recommend changing the lobby so that it reads the tabs CashGames/SnG/MTT/Private horizontally accross the top of the main lobby screen. It makes it much easier for a tourament player IMO. Then you can filter your prefferances rather then having to look through each type of tournament individually. If you find something easier let me know. This just seemed easy enough to me so I've grown comfortable with it.

    Another cool feature that DoylesRoom has for MTTs is their reminder feature. It's only in one lobby that I can find(the one w/o the filtering options) but if there is a specific tourney that isn't registering yet, that is listed, you can set a reminder/alarm for it. When you click on it, under the description on the righthand side, there is a checkbox to set up your reminder/alarm for tournament. It's good for those Grand Final live event satellites at the end of the month that you dont want to forget about.

    I also wanted to add that I won a satellite to play in the WSOP ME on DoylesRoom this year, and also back in '06. Between the two years I was fortunate enough to meet a good portion of their management team. They are an awesome group of extremely genuine people that care a lot about their customers, their reputation and their growth. They made me feel as if I've known them all my life. Hands down, a much better experience then I had with stars in '07. How many of you can say you've eaten breakfast with Doyle Brunson and Shannon Elizabeth? HaHaHa along with a few other high profile Pros(not going to drop anymore names). Doyle even gave me one of his own Cowboy hats to wear during the tournament and eventually take home as a keepsake. It was a life changing experience both years and I will have stories for days!!! Besides the fact that he almost stole my girl/future wife from me, I can't wait to tell my kids about it one day (if I ever decide to have them lol).

    ...on a sidenote, I overheard some of their management talking about trying to increase their tournament schedule and even creating some new guarantees. So, I am both looking foward to, and expecting to see, some additions to their current schedule in the future as the traffic increases and there is more of a demand.

    I just busted out of the 60r 175k, good value u get 2k starting stacks, and the players are horrible. table is 10 handed which is kinda strange, I like the table itself tho. Oh and there was overlay.

    using that lobby view is crucial.

    I will be VERY excited to see them improve the schedule. Hopefully they will make some changes geared towards the US market.

    I've only had 1 problem when the tourneys crashed last sunday, but I've known all the majors to crash from time to time.

    Doyles Room is seriously awesome. Nothing like stacking donkeys in soft cash games and taking all of their euros/pounds. Its the only site I know that actively changes based on the feedback that you provide. Trish is the Poker Room Manager and she is awesome at getting you your $ quickly. Stack me @ the Bounty rebate on Weds. - it's free.

    P5's Doyles Room rep: I know that WSOP ME seats are up for grabs at sites, but what about seats for other buyins? I would like to see a seat for a 2k or 1k/rebuys WSOP event, etc.
