nuthing wrong with doyles, typical cake site, more private games than most othercake sites
(I wish I knew how to multi-quote so I didn't have to 'multi-post' instead)
'nuthing wrong with doyles' <??? Perhaps for a player who is only interested in playing low buyin 'private' 'cash-added' MTTs, adding in Doyles might be okay (although they really don't have many in their lobby at all), but most players looking to sign up to second or third
poker site are looking for a site that they can play on... not just to play 1 or 2 small-field, low buyin private tourneys.
Personally I think (know) there's ALOT wrong with Doyles. The Cake network has been so poorly managed & software so far behind the competition that it has many of the MTT regs. wondering if they're not just putting the site into the ground (yes... it is that bad).
OP, seriously, if you're looking for another site to play on.... look far, far away from Doyles (it sucks!!!!). Think about this... I used to actually recommend it to friends where I live for a decent site to get on for starting out (as a 2nd site as they all played on Fulltilt already). Now I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for anything. I can't understand why Doyles went ahead with the big sponsorship thing with the Doyles10 (10 excellent online players). Just seems weird that they went in that direction without even bothering to do anything to the site.
Traffic on that site is poor.
Tourney selection is worse than poor.
Software is archaic & just plain bad. (the last tourney I played on Doyles was a $50 Turbo MTT, the site was acting up like crazy with many players timing down & being unable to act (no bet button features would appear on screen). It happened over & over & over again. ALot of players got screwed because of it. A couple of players off the bubble I wake up with a monster, a loose spewy player opens in late position, I go to ship it in... but nothing.. instead it folds me??? Player to my left got folded a bunch of times & this was happening to a couple others on the table as well. I end up going out just off the bubble, getting it in good but with zero fold
equity due to being folded out of other hands I wouldv'e shoved with. I contact support & they tell me they'll 'let me know' within 24hrs. (others on table were suggesting that we all write to support). 5day later they write back & give me ZERO! This is the last game I"ve played on that site. Fortunately I've been able to transfer off the majority of my roll (and at the time was willing to swap for funds on other sites giving up 20%...< yes.. it is that bad imo!)
