On Monday I was booted from a freeroll - no big deal. By the time I logged on again after an hour or so I'd been blinded out.

It just happened to me again playing 2 micro SNGs and a micro tournament. I contacted support and they acknowledged a system problem and gave me an e-mail to contact once I can log back in and provide the tournament IDs.

Is anyone else having this type of problem at Carbon?

Logged into Carbon (merge network) and everything is working per usual.

Are you guys on Carbon or another skin; I have literally had maybe one issue like that and 1/2 laggy entries into OPS MTTs in my whole time on Carbon.

Excellent software in my experience.

that is why I switch to play cash table
...play SNG ....if disconnected is a disaster, esp when blinds are high and during the money bubble.

it happens time to time.
not that long just 30-40minutes, carbon will get the problem fixed.

Yes - Carbon - it may be coincidence but it has only been an issue the last couple of days (they made a bunch of changes to buy ins and eliminated some micro tournaments on 12/1).

I love the look and feel of the software - but not the recent bugs.

They refunded my account for one of the tournies and gave me coupons for the others - leaving some wasted time and a small ding to official ROI measure.

Still Having Problems on Carbon Poker

Just got booted twice from a SNG. Glad I only play micro stakes with this lack of stability. When I finally got back on I asked other players if they were having similar problems - one said yes... so I guess I wouldn't recommend Carbon at the moment even though I love it when it's working.

Played one tourney there today, no problems.

Another question: are there only Re-Entry tournaments?

Never heard of Oddspoker but I'm fairly sure that CC has been working with Carbon Poker for years.

EDIT: having looked at your other posts they virtually all seems to be insulting these two poker companies.

Carbon / Merge have always had DC issues, but they have been at an all-time bad kind of level the past few weeks. 2+2ers and twitterverse folk were live-broadcasting a DDOS attack on carbon today during the $125K big ticket. I've been getting DC'd all day, as have many other players. cost me a few big pots, too.

Like I said, there have been issues on Sundays/OPS super high volume donkament times, but for me, other that that, I simply haven't seen these issues.

I am in NO WAY saying they are made up; just reporting what I see on the site.

I do believe they had issues on the 7th though from what I am reading. I just don't think its to the extent that new depositors need to be overly concerned about the platform. Ya, you may sit there for 5 mins if you are entering a huge donkament....that should be addressed but it isn't like you are having massive issues that are disturbing play over the whole site often or something.

At least not in my experience.
