I haven't played poker in some time and am currently looking at Carbon and BCP for my deposit.
The deposit will be around $200, and I will mainly play SnGs.
My question is, which would be the better site to play at?

If you like different games such as stud h/l, razz, badugi, 7lowball Id say carbon. The traffic there good too. There are plenty of free rolls running everyday aswell. As for black chip which i currently play at due to the recent move away from merge. There is only holdem and omaha tournys. There is no razz, badugi, or 7lowball but there is stud h/l which there are only like 3 regular high stakes players (10-20). Best part about black chip is the fast cash outs which carbon might take 3 months. Edit. After re reading your post the SnGs in black chip fill up slow due to low traffic. Good luck to you good sir :)

I also would vote for Carbon. A lot of players, a lot of variation in game selection for rings and tournaments, some softness due to sports gamblers spreading their money (like the old bodog days). Players also can compete on/against Carbon from their Aced account (which is where PDC recently migrated its players to); though sadly there are no more p2p transfers, even to oneself. Good luck.

One addendum: Check the withdrawal policies (amounts, speed) of anywhere you choose to deposit. And never put in money that you might need quickly; it'll never come back to you as fast as you may wish, especially winnings. In my opinion/experience...

They do have good withdrawel methods now, on the winning network,Same as ACR, is where BCP moved too.BUT, right now the traffic for poker and the variety of games are really kind of bad.And theres no p2p transfers still on merge,so you will have to decide, based on whats most important to you right now.

I would reccomend black chip poker. Merge cashouts take at leasts two months while black chips are a lot faster. Americas Cardroom also has a huge tournament series coming up. http://www.americascardroom.eu/oss/ Black Chip is not a good site for sit and gos so you might want to consider a site like juicy stakes from the revolution network.
