Default Doyles Room

Well, I cashed out 1500 of my big win the other day. Left $500 in Neteller to sell my body like a bonus whore. The rest is on Stars. I deposited into Doyles Room. They have a 35% Neteller deposit bonus up to $135 which means you have to deposit at least $400 to get the max bonus. You need 13, 500 Action Points to clear the bonus. I singled tabled for one night, and I"m two tabling now. One and a half days playing so far. One day single tabling, maybe three hours per day so far. Playing at the most 2/4 six max and 1/2 six max LIMIT hold em. I'm over 5k action points as we speak. Very reasonable bonus to clear if anyone is interested. Unlike Ultimate Bet, Full Tilt, Noble, and Titan's impossible bonuses to clear. Just a heads up to you all.

Funny you mention Doyle's Room.... They have a Bounty Tourney tonight at 9:00. It's a $25+2 buy in. You get bounties for knocing out Doyle ($200), his son Todd ($100), or Mike Caro ($100). But here comes the fun part: Knock out any TWO of them and you get $5000, and if you knock out all THREE (yeah, right), you get $25,000.

What's more? If any of the three of them wins the tourney, you get your entry fee.

Sounds cool. I think I may play in it.

Here is my affiliate link if anyone who doesn't have an account already would like to set one up:

Greeeeeeeat.

Firstly, this is one of those sites where the "raise amount" is what you actually RAISE, not what you want the new bet to be. I hate that.

Secondly, I had 54o and some guy made a HUGE preflop raise. The screen popped up on me and I unintentionally called. The flop came Axx and he checked. I checked. The turn gave me a double gutshot and he checked again, so I made a healtyh bet of about half the pot. He called. The river paired my 5 and he checked again. I checked behind him and he showed KK.

So, that little unintentinal click cost me about 1100 chips. I need another 200 or so in my stack before I can knock Todd out again (I was doing well).

Stupid stupid stupid.

Sorry for not hooking up the affiliate link, didn't know you had one. I'll be bonus whoring like I said and I will hook you up with each site that offers a reasonable bonus on your affiliate list. Teddy Bears are cool btw. \

I didn't know about this tourney, still getting accustomed to the software and focusing on ring games/clearing bonus. Gl TP, bust out Todd, he seems like an asshole.

I got moved to a different table.

I have to say, I'm not a big fan of the software interface on this site... but maybe I'm just not used to it.

I have 11k chips now. I'd tell you what place that puts me on the list, but even after I manually "refresh" it, I can't tell without counting. Looks like Top 20.

I hate that bet fuck up as well. But, I'm about halfway to clearing my $135 bonus and i'm up almost $200 on the site. Very easy bonus to clear. It's a first deposit bonus of course.

I finished around 70th I think. Nothing eventful. I got all in against 3 other players in the end. One guy took out all 3 of the rest of us.
