Doyle Brunson was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame at Hardin Simmons University yesterday! He was one heck of a basketball player and track team member back in the day. For those of you that have read his Super System books, you all ready know the story. For those that have not, it is an excellent read!
Anyway, he is being honored by his former university and had it not been for an accident that broke his leg, he may have been better known on the basketball court rather than the poker table. He was recruited to play for the (then Minneapolis) Lakers before the unfortunate accident happened! Did you know he is also a cancer survivor? Maybe now you can understand why he is so tough at the tables. The man has been through and seen a lot!
So, in honor of his induction to the Hall of Fame, DoylesRoom is offering a special reload bonus! Make a reload deposit now through Monday October 19th using promotion code: HallofFame25 and you will get a 25% in bonus up to $100! Wait a moment, that is not all you will get.

Here is where you can order what many consider the best poker strategy books ever written. Doyle Brunson’s Super System and Super System 2 are a must read for any serious poker player.
It that time again, shorter, colder days, winter just around the corner for most of us in the Northern Hemisphere. There is a way to get a break though, hop on over to DoylesRoom and get busy playing the Aussie Millions Satellite games! Make it to the top and you will be on your way to Australia in January where it will be summer time!
It won’t take a massive bankroll to qualify either, you can get in on the action for just $4+$0.40 in the daily qualifiers and you can also play in the Gold Chip qualifiers at just 2 Gold Chips! You can enter the competition by buying in direct at any level if you wish too. So if you want to avoid the semi-finals and quarter finals, you can buy in to the final for $300+$21. The four bucks sounds good to me though, plus it gives you a chance to take notes on players and get some valuable practice in.
As I mentioned above, there are many ways to work your way to the Aussie Millions Main Event. Spend some of your Gold Chips earned from playing in real money games to go to the Aussie Millions free, or jump in to any level of the qualifiers. The schedule of qualifiers is listed below.

The Bounty is Bigger!
Taking the bounty to the next level happened last month when the US friendly online poker room doubled the size of "The Bounty", the weekly multi table tournament at DoylesRoom and took the 25k in available bounties to a massive $50,000 if you take out all three. And as an extra award… if you bust out Doyle "Tex_Dolly" Brunson with a 10/2 you get an extra $5,000!

For tonight’s game, October 7, 2009, the bounties will be on Doyle "Tex_Dolly" Brunson, Pam "Queen_Kitty" Brunson and Mike "Mike_Caro" Caro.

What if there was a way you could experience a weekend of Las Vegas first class living with Doyle Brunson and get a private poker coaching session with Doyle before the event starts? Would you be interested? Not many online poker players would pass up this chance of a lifetime, well, not the serious online players.

Poker players used to playing on the Cake Network of online poker rooms have been longing for action this week as the Cake Network continues to experience issues in providing tournament poker both in sit n go and multi table games. The players online has taken a serious nose dive and the usual 6,000+ players has dwindled down to the faithful ring game players accounting for volume to be anywhere from 2000 to 4000 players online. The poker sites on the network all share in the same announcement when you open the poker room software:
Attention: Tournaments currently unavailable
As you may be aware, we’ve experienced some connection issues over the past few days. As our team works on the issue, we’ve removed the tournaments from the lobby until such time that we can guarantee a smooth playing experience for players. Please stay tuned.
We applaud the network in their efforts to ensure a reliable tournament experience and certainly look forward to them returning the tournaments to the players. In the mean time, what is a tournament junkie to do? We know you want to play in a safe and secure tournament environment and feel it is our duty to help you to choose the best and safest in tournament action. Ring games are great to play, but nothing compares to the feeling one gets when you have battled your way to the final table and ultimately the win! Let us guide you along with a few superior choices in online poker rooms that accept US players and have a great tournament selection and the best in poker bonuses too. |
 |
Our first choice would be the US (and now Canada) friendly Bodog Poker. The tournament lobby is full of multi table tournaments at all buy in levels from freerolls to massive guaranteed tournament. The peak of guaranteed MTT’s is the Sunday Bodog 100k tournament. Notorious for huge overlays, the 100k has become one of the best values in online poker tournaments. You can buy in direct for $162 or play it smart and win a 100k seat from playing the 100k qualifiers that start as low as $1 or 30 Bodog poker points! Bodog Poker is also well known for it’s soft tables, so in between tournaments you can build your bankroll at the cash games.
Sit n Go’s are running in full force at Bodog too. You will find that you won’t have to wait long to get the game started as player volume remains rather high 24/7. The even have beginner sit n go’s that payout half the field, unlike double or nothing games, the payout grows larger the higher you finish. These are great for players that are just starting out!
You’ll get 110% bonus up to $500 with Bodog Poker when you use this link, and 10% of the bonus is an instant (ready to play) bonus! When you deposit for the first time, you’ll also get invited to the new player 100k qualifier freerolls where you can win a seat to the 100k for free! Get started now |

Another wise choice and still accepting US poker players is Full Tilt Poker. Being one of the giants in the online poker world, you’ll never have a problem finding a tournament or sit n go to join in at Full Tilt. One of the very best values in multi table tournaments is the 10k Daily Dollar. The buy in is only $1 and the tournament has a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool! They run this twice daily, at 3:15 pm eastern the 10K Daily Dollar with rebuys and again at 8:15 pm they run it again but as a freezeout (no rebuys). We can’t see how you could have more fun for only a buck!
With the player volume nearing 100,000 players online during peak times, the wait for a sit n go is nearly zero. The tables fill up as fast as you can click the register button. One of the most unique sit n go games is the Matrix Sit n Go, this is a four in one game… you buy in once and play four sit n gos at the same time. They even have a leaderboard in these special games. Half the prize pool goes to the top three in each game and the other half goes to the top players on the leaderboard. All games are 9 player (single table) sit n gos. Of course the cash games are well represented too.
Sign up to FullTilt Poker using referral code PPUS100 and you’ll be treated to a 100% match bonus up to $600 FREE! US players are always allowed at Full Tilt! |

Last but in no way least, PokerStars continues to accept US players and being the worlds largest online poker site, there is always a game to register for. The only drawback is picking the game you want to play, the selection is incredible! Don’t expect to sign up for a sit n go and go make a sandwich when you are playing at PokerStars, the games start extremely fast!
The highlight MTT at PokerStars is the Sunday Million. This is the weekly $1.5 million guaranteed tournament with a buy in of $215. You can climb the ranks and get entry by playing in the daily satellite games! You’ll also find more qualifiers to live poker tournament at PokerStars than any other online poker site!
One turnoff that many players had about PokerStars was the had such a low first deposit bonus. This has been cured as they recently raised the bonus to $600 free!

Last week I told you about the Bodog Poker Open IV starting up, well the week went fast and tomorrow starts both the Bodog Poker Open IV Contender Series and the Championship Series. These two distinctly different series are set up for the established poker players and players that are somewhat novice. Buy ins start at just $5.50 in the Contender Series and the championship series buy ins range from $55 to $500. No matter what level of poker you are at, you can find a tournament to join at Bodog Poker.
