Lobby

Doyle’s Room lobby area uses a combination of tabs and pull-down-menus as its system of navigation through the different games and tournaments. This make searching for sit ‘n’ goes very easy. The ring games area of the lobby does show average pot, but not flop viewed percentages. There are some entertaining functions such as a buddy list and a chance to go into detail with your profile for people to read. Furthermore, the site does make it easy to access a manager even during game play, mimicking the high quality service you would get from a floorman in a casino.

Game play graphics are well balanced between looks and practicality. Colors are full but not too distracting. Avatars are obvious and the cards are big and clear. The table itself is large to prevent the feeling of “clutteredness. The game chat area is a separate window that is at the side, this makes reading the chat area easier and more convenient. Player statistics and hand history information is pretty extensive and clear. Both of these options are accessible through the options area of the lobby. However, hand history can be accessed in the game play table also.
