The 250k guaranteed now says Oct 4th, and all of us who were registered for Sept 27th are now registered for that one. Fecal matter may be headed toward the oscillating cooling device very soon
-
I was about to post about this too. WTF? I satt'ed into this b/c today was fortunately the only Saturday I could actually play this. If they really moved it back a week w/out sending out an email, that's terrible. They actually sent an email at like 2pm EST (2 hours before it is supposed to start) as a reminder and encouraging people to enter.

2) DoylesRoom reserves all rights to reschedule, cancel, modify or refund satellites and main event at their discretion. I haven't asked, but am thinking we are boned
-
a big WTF SMD is in order. I deposited just for this tourney. Don't make it a gurantee if you can't stick to your guns and eat up what u fucked up.

This is the conversation I just had with their support. Such a joke of a site!!!

<span>
</span>You are now chatting with 'Chris'
<span>Chris: </span>Hi, welcome to our poker room.
<span>Chris: </span>How may i help?
<span>Chris: </span>Hi, welcome to our poker room.
<span>you: </span>hi, why does the 250k tourney lobby say the tourney is in seven days when the banner in green right above where you typed say its today?
<span>Chris: </span>yes we just go feedback from our tech department
<span>Chris: </span>stating that many players are having
<span>Chris: </span>issues when try to register for the tourney
<span>Chris: </span>there is something wrong with the software and it
<span>Chris: </span>has been changed to next week
<span>Chris: </span>we preffered to have moved it
<span>you: </span>that is the lamest excuse ever to avoid an overlay
<span>Chris: </span>No its not because it is not fair
<span>you: </span>it was fine and literally 2 minutes ago you changed it
<span>Chris: </span>to many of those players have
<span>Chris: </span>not been able to join
<span>you: </span>not fair for who? 498 people managed to register?
<span>Chris: </span>Yes but there are several hundred more who won satelites
<span>Chris: </span>and other tourneys to get to that.
<span>Chris: </span>There is nothing we can do
<span>Chris: </span>it is postponed
<span>Chris: </span>You will need to wait
<span>you: </span>i have looked at the tourney lobbies, you guys haven't "run" hundreds of satelites
<span>you: </span>I bet the people at 2+2 and pocketfives will love flaming this site for what is an obvious attemp at avoiding an overlay
<span>Chris: </span>Wait until next week
<span>Chris: </span>Feel free to contact us again if you have any questions. Enjoy your day!

this is such a load of shit....
then right as a find this out... AA < K9o< 88.... all in pre....fucking really doyles room. -
I changed my plans for this saturday just so I could play this! I am pissed, screw doyles room.
-
I usually don't play any poker on saturday, but today I was free. WTF!! This is pure shady on their part, eat the overlay.
-
Wow, how messed up. Not putting any money on that site.
-
I will still play the event, luckily I had enough points to buy in for free, from when doyles room had a good site. There goes that new player base.
-
How much was the buy-in exactly? 500 people playing for $250k would've been awesome.
-
too unhappy to coherently ask, but what if someone wasted time playing a satellite, won their way in, then could not play next week? I am willing to bet the actual cash won't be refunded. And almost certain those of us who won them on the cardplayer and P5 satellites are stuck playing the 4th since those tickets were "promotional". I will inquire when I am less likely to spout invectives and vitriol.
-
buyin is 150 + 15. They cut off our conversation before I had the chance to tell them that when I win the tourney next week, or whenever they decide to run it, that I will be withdrawing every cent I win and not playing anything else there again. Such a joke
-
Only reason people joined this was for the obvious 100k+ overlay. Doyles room should of known they wouldn't get 2000 people to join or even 1000. Eat the overlay and hope people like your site. Bodog eats more then this on a weekly basis.
-
I won my seat through cardplayer. This is horrible customer service. No wonder they have pathetic traffic at there site
-
This goes to show, that if stars capped field sizes (the only negative I've ever heard about them is that some tourneys are way to big) then they would literally monopolize the poker industry.
-
total BS. I won my seat and I took off from work..costs me like $175.00 in lost wages for my hours. now 1) i can t play next week..2) I will never play on that site again , unless they unregister me and give me T$
F Doyles room
lamest excuse to cancel for the week>>people had trouble registering...thats like " the CHECK IS IN THE MAIL excuse.....
drop of the face of the world doyles room -
Counting the rake, they needed just over 1500 people entering to break even. Of the 500 or so people entered, presumably a number of them got in via sattys with overlays like I did (only 2 people entered at 17+1.50 each for a guaranteed seat), so who knows how much they would've lost. I doubt they'll give those of us who can't play next week and satt'ed in a $165 refund - maybe our original sat entry cost. The only thing I'll say in their defense is that I do remember one time trying to register for a tournament about 5 minutes before registration closed, and I had no actual registration button to press, so couldn't join. I suppose it is possible that it really was a technical problem...
-
gaougoaiugoaugoaiugoagua....
Only reason I downloaded Doyles room today and made a deposit was to play in this tourney....what a joke site! -
I suppose it is possible that it really was a technical problem...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
are you kidding me? -
yup, they are obviously avoiding the overlay... but according to Chris, if you can't play next week, you are probably just screwed. Good way to draw new customers to your market... I'm sure this will go over like a lead balloon in the poker community.

<SPAN class=infoText>
</SPAN>You are now chatting with 'Chris'
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>Hi, welcome to our poker room.
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>Hi Chris
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>Why did the $250K guarantee change to starting in 30 minutes to starting in 7 days 30 minutes?
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>We apologize for the delay for the tourney being moved but many players where having issues with not being able to register. We are currently working on this within the software but since it is so close to the start of the tourney we preferred to move it so all can play.
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>so they moved it a full week?
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>ugh, I cleared my whole schedule today to play this
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>yes that is correct
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>sorry but we wanted to make sure thre was no problems today.
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>so, now that the schedule has changed, if I am unable to attend next saturday, what happens?
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>You can go and
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>unregister for the tourney
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>you can do that
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>they same way you registered
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>will I get a credit on my account?
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>I won a satellite to get in
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>For that you need to
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>send an email to support@dbpn.com
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>but i am sure you will have
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>to play and cannot get the money back
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>Is there anything else I can assist you with?
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>Seriously? I won a satellite for a tournament that was starting in 15 minutes? You guys change the time for the tournament, and now I might not be able to play, and it's just "too bad, so sad" ?
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>Send the email because i cannot credit anything
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>this is a management decision
<SPAN class=visitorName>you: </SPAN>Ok, you may want to change the stuff that it shows when first coming into this support message... it says in big green letters to join us today for a tournament that doesn't exist
<SPAN class=operatorName>Chris: </SPAN>Feel free to contact us again if you have any questions. Enjoy your day!

I'm as pissed off as everyone else here. I'm just saying that I have actually experienced trouble registering for a tournament on DR before. Either way, they should not have postponed it. If your software has a problem, that's your fault, and you should plan your biggest event ever better.
-
WTF DR!
Guess I should know better than to play on these "fake sites".... shat. I rearranged whole schedule for this..... hmmm plans next saturday i guess cancelled.
what, no one likes a 175k overlay? I do!! -
You know, what about e-mailing the players and telling them. How about maybe a few tourney creds before the crying got too bad. A little damage controll would have been smart.
-
I told alot of my friends about this tourney and had them go deposit during hte last hours just to play it, now this make me seem like a jackass for convincing them to put $ on this site.
and the guy that took off work to play this and lost 175 in loss wages, wow. I feel for you man. That pisses me off even more. Get your act together doyles! -
Yeah, it's now the designated starting time, and absolutely no word from DR to the players. A simple email would've been nice, even if it's to say that it's postponed, and further details are coming.
