It's when the total buyins doesn't amount to the gtd payouts. i.e. the site is throwing money in the pot that you can win. Start your EV calculators .....

With about 1/2hr to go before it was supposed to start last saturday there were only 500ish registered. Then they "postponed" it due to technical difficulties. Hoepfully it actually runs this time

Is there alot of player traffic on doyles room? I mostly play cash games right now. Are there always good overlays on tourneys on this site? Thanks.

I recently got back on it to try to clear the $550 deposit bonus that I had...and now I have 3 bonuses stacked waiting to be clear. By no means is the traffic heavy, but for the most part I can get 2 tables of $0.50/$1 6 max going everytime I play. I haven't really found anyone on there that I would avoid just yet in the cash game, and can't say for tournament.

what's the benefit to play at doly's room?
they have the worse bonus clearing rate compare to other major prima skin.
no VIP RB
for example
GNUF bonus clear at 12RH/$
eurolinx bonus clear at 13RH/$
pokerhost clear at 12RH/$
doly's room clear at 25RH/$
Gnuf and eurolinx both has VIP RB to stack on top of the bonus.
if you can find affiliate to give you some extra.....sweet.
Gnuf, eurolinx, doly's room, pokerhost are all in prima network.
when you clear the bonus at doyle's room, you can clear twice the bonus and add RB on top of that.
same players, same software......so......
what's the benefit to play at doyle's room.
Edit: cash game, no problem finding 6 tables, even at offpeak time.

Even though it takes twice as longer to clear the bonus as compared to the other sites you have listed I was reading on doylesroom website that the bonus never expires. You can be assured you will get the whole bonus.

I also found a rakeback site that does rakeback for that site. It also says you get a copy of super system 2 when you make a deposit of $500 or more. $550 maximum.

Mynick71 and Westside8
i was wondering what stake are you playing?
is you are 25NL and under, then i see why bonus never expire is important.
at 13X bonus, i can clear $500 it in 15 days @ 50NL. you have 60-90days to clear.
FOLLOWING IS VERY IMPORT.
twice as long = twice the bonus
by the time you clear that $500 and earn a supersystem
you can clear $1000.
does supersystem cost $500? you paying too much for that book.

not to step on dolye's room, i just hate to see my country man get short changed.

I just started playing online poker about three months ago. My br is quite low still. Playing on micro limits. Chuckieland your comments make sense though.

When Doyle was part of Tribeca it was like stealing money the play was that bad. Haven't been there since they moved to prima but I never did like the Prima skins.
