Doyles Room Poker Software
Doyles Room shares the software of MicroGaming [Prima].
Players have a number of options including 4-color deck and various table sizes to choose from. There is a good statistics screen, auto-wrap note function and player "tagging" function available to the player to make playing at Doyles Room more fun and profitable.
The main menu is well-laid out with a number of filters available to make a player's navigation easier. Cash games and tournaments can be toggled in the left-side filters. However, if there are more than one page of tables for selection, they are laid out in contiguous pages which make it much more difficult to maneuver in and filter. Setting a filter by buy-in, for example, will not alter the entire page layouts from one page to another, but rather only on a per page basis. The cash game menus include hands per hour and average pot size as well as player percentage per flop.
Doyles Room's software is a bit slow, however. Items requiring refreshing sometimes take a while to do so, especially the tournament leaderboard screens. Like the main menu screens, the tournament position pages are contiguous and very difficult to navigate.
The table software at Doyles Room flows with very few hang-ups and slowdowns in the action. Players always know where they are at in the hand as the player placards darken when players fold or sit out, and a nice optional feature of the red and green placard borders help differentiate between who has done an action and who is still awaiting an action.

Doyles Room Poker Tournaments with Overlays
A tournament overlay is the result of guaranteed prize money that is not offset by the participant's buy-ins. As such, all freerolls and FPP freerolls always offer an overlay.
Doyles Room has a large variety of guaranteed tournaments available to their players, and some of these tournaments, especially the Wednesday Madness [aka Mid-week Madness] guaranteed tournaments do not fill up. Therefore, despite the large number of players the MicroGaming [Prima] Poker Network has, there is a tendency for some tournaments to offer overlays.
