Once upon a time, poker players from all over the world flocked to the now defunct Doyle's Room for some juicy cash games and tournaments.
While the site never reached PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker levels in terms of popularity and traffic, it did have an audience and a sizable player base during the poker boom era.
