    Default DoylesRoom moves to Yatahay

    hi all

    some fresh off the presses news from poker conference

    DoylesRoom moves to Yatahay

    after a couple of weeks of jungle drums beating that Doyles was going to be moving from the Cake network to a new network I've just heard and got confirmed where they are moving too ...

    Yatahay Network

    who ?????? I hear you all say

    well they are very (and thats very without a capital V) small US friendly network with a handful of players network that includes True Poker

    not sure the software is as groundbreaking as some would have us believe but there we are

    I will update the doylesroom review and add in a network review at some point for those that are interested

    most importantly the move does NOT mean problems with cashouts etc etc - so no need to panic on that front for those that have funds on Doyles

    whether this signals the death nail for cake network or not will remain to be seen but I DONT predict a major problem with funds on cake sites just that this will be another drop in traffic for the cake network - which hasnt been doing so well on that front of late

    more info etc when I get back from the poker conference

    My word I just clicked my DOyles icon and got this new network set up and havent seen a installation like this since the days of windows 95 and the cashier option with that pull down menu doesnt make me feel to comfy about this site, why would doyle not move his network to a more modern network (maybe this network is modern but it doesnt feel like it) I really wanted an echeck way to play the WED bounty tourny's but I dont think they have an echeck option like cerrus and merge are now offering.

    COME ON NOW THIS IS DOYLE BRUNSON, it seems like this should be one of the primere sites and really felt 2nd rate on the cake network and this change just seems like a downgrade not slamming but not praising, I was more excited when I thought people were saying this room was going to the merge network

    According to PokerScout.com, the Yatahay Poker Network is the 38th largest worldwide with a seven-day running average of 73 real money ring game players and a 24-hour peak of 114. By comparison, the Cake Poker Network boasts traffic that is over 10 times those amounts. Yatahay’s cash game traffic is just ahead of that found on the iPoker Network’s French site.

    Seriously? And I thought cake was small. Doesn't see like an improvement to me. Time will tell.

    Default what can I say

    hi

    what can I say - it definately looks like a downward move - certainly in terms of traffic and graphics

    however I think they were frustrated on cake with a lack of control and I think yatahay has a solid if underwelming reputation - in terms of US payment processing I think its probably viewed by Doyles as a +ive move

    time will tell but Doyles definately will become the dominant site on the new network - that in itself may be the reason for the move

    the software is so last century it would suprise me if a well overdue redesign isnt already in the pipeline to be honest

    the previous runners for the move were

    Merge - they've been on the march with Cake sites moving (sportsbook and playersonly for example) and I fully expect more

    maybe just maybe Merge will take over Cake as a whole - anything is possible

    Cereus - with Helmuth leaving and looking to be the prime star somewhere else (rule out sponsorship deal with Stars or Tilt

    it was even rumoured a couple of weeks ago a wierd move to fulltilt (would have to be moving in an unlikely semi network direction) but then Doyles didnt treat affiliates too well when they pulled out of the US so nothing would have been a suprise

    still this was a choice not really expected

    time will tell - Ive been watch not posting on this for a while as while others like to speculated I dont like to on site moves etc as there are a 101 rumours around 365 days a year

    The site is really scary... hated the ring tables, and the tourneys micro limits available are just awfull. And my nickname was already in use by other member!
    Hopefully things will improve from here .
    But if there is a serious software upgrade in the oven, the move really should have been done after its release...

    Wow i just now heard about this so i am going to go check out my Doyles account right now because last week i made a deposit there again to start playing the Wed games and since i did that both times they have cancelled the game because supposedly the pro's were on vacation to start the new year now it seems like they may be on permanent vacation

    OK i am back and i downloaded the new software and its the same as DSI poker so i am ok with that, and after changing my log-in info and table name ( because of already having an account at DSI ) i was able to log in and all my info is correct and my balance is fine so no problems on my front anyways, good luck to everyone else who has accounts at Doyles

    I was looking over the site for some reason it seems kind of appetizing to want to deposit there I dont know why, I was watching the tables and it looks like the old tables I see pictures of. I do want to play some of those Doyles bounties I MEAN HELL IF PETEY CAN WIN 1K (Just F'ing with you petey LOL) I might try it wish you didnt have to deposit $50 on echeck ( I KNOW QUIT BEING SO F'ing cheap rob) I stil cant get over that hurdle but the more I look at the site the less it bothers me

    BUt dang above TF pasted that it was the 38th biggest network, 38th how many networks are there

    HEY WHEN DID BODOG UPGRADE, the new lobby there looks fantastic

    Default makeover in the oven

    hi

    yep I'm pretty sure that a total makeover of the software and graphics was / is part of the deal

    My guess is Doylesroom side of the deal would involved them providing the logisitics and input for new software and graphics for Yatahay and on the other side yatahay sorting out other things for DoylesRoom

    its been said that it was hoped Doyles would maybe even avoid joining YET another network as just another skin and just go it alone and launch a unique version

    I think judging by their announcement headline this might actually be the nearest thing to that

    "DoylesRoom takes control of its own future"

    suggests that with an odd looking move to a tiny "network" that they've "bought" into the network in a big way and plan to be a dominant role in the future of Yatahay or maybe its more vice versa, certainly this looks more likely

    maybe joining in at the top level with a "fixer upper" makes more sense than trying to get going on their own from a standing start

    certainly it could be interesting

    maybe what alot feel is the dumbest move in a not great history of not so great decisions is actually going to prove to be a turning point and their first good decision in a while ;-)

    cheers SB
