Carbon Poker Question - Not About Payouts

#1 7th January 2010, 3:37 AM

I have been looking through the Carbon software and was wondering what the play was like on the site? Are the tournaments any good? Are the cash tables soft? Does anyone play there a lot?

I actually played there for the first time last week. The tables were supper soft. However, there were only like 3k people online. That is way small compared to sites like Full Tilt, PokerStars and UB.

Also if you SNG's take forever to fill up, so if you are going to play there, play ring.

I'm in the process of withdrawing some funds from carbon just to see how their process goes. On pokerstars I get funds in my account usually in 48 hours. So far on carbon it's been five days and I'm still not approved for the withdrawal.

When I tried to withdraw there they were going to charge me $25 for a $100 withdrawal.

I just left the money there to play CC games once in a while but never play anything else. I really don't like playing there at all. I time out there so much it is not worth it - no other site I play at is like that.

Oh yeah, they charged me $15 to withdraw.

as far as merge sites go carbon is not so bad, they offer better frees and events than most other merge sites.

Very recently made my first deposit at Carbon. Depends on what you're looking for? I like the graphics. If you like freerolls, you will like Carbon. Numerous daily freerolls 1500 to 3000 entries - compare that to Fulltilt or UB - you actually have a chance. 14 $500 freeroll tickets for players that make a first deposit (about 150 entries per freeroll.) Big drawback - as mentioned before, very limited tounaments and S&G's as a result of very low player numbers.

I like Carbon very much. They do have a low number of players online but I prefer that as opposed to a larger site. I like the tournaments they run and they have a nice 50,000 guaranteed every sunday. The graphics and animations on the site make it very nice to look at in fact the best i've seen from a poker site. The drawback is many disconnection problems.

It is best to use Usemywallet, Carbon is slow on payouts but not too slow.
Checks take 7 weeks and Usemywallet takes up to 7 days.
No charge for using Usemywallet and you can tranfer to other poker rooms. I have 4 rooms all set up on Usemywallet and I love it.
It takes time to set it all up, but it's worth it.

As far as poker is concerned, I play the $1 dazzlers (2 a day)only right now cause of the great value and bonus money. plenty of dead money

I cash in 40-50% of them, easy to cash

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for a game there. I will give the $1 dazzlers a try. See you at the tables sometime.

They Have a Great Sit n Go free 3 step tourny you can do. Win three tables and win 1$. Thats the only thing i found that the other sites dont have. I'd love for Pokerstars to get that.
