I'm going to contact Carbon support, but has anyone else noticed that joining waitlists at cash game tables now automatically joins you to all waitlists in that limit? There isn't any option to join the waitlist for just that table.

Anyone else experiencing this?

What gives?

I certainly don't like it as an immediate reaction. But I guess, especially since it is a "new feature" I'll try and think about pros and cons.

Pro: I'm not there yet! Can't think of any since signing up for all tables in the stake was previously an option.

Con: No more easy table selection prior to sitting down. I can't easily choose which table I'm joining.It would take a bit of finessing to table select. I'd need to note the names of all the tables in my stake that I want to join, then join all the tables' waitlists, and then accept only the open tables for what I want.

Anyone else?

I haven't played any cash games on Carbon since the latest upgrade. But I know I prefer to be able to choose which table I'm going to be seated at. If I see a table with an extremely high average pot for the stakes, I might think there is some maniacle play going on there that I don't want to be a part of. I'd like to have some choice in the matter.

I would contact support and let them know my concerns. Carbon Poker seems to be real good about listening to input from their players. I suspect that a lot of players will be unhappy with this change. If they all voice their concerns, Carbon might have the option to join the wait list for a specific table only put back in their next update.

The decision was made by Merge Gaming. Carbon can't change it unless Merge decides they want it changed... i.e not likely

I think if enough people post dislikes to it this feature will change. I for instance was confused and thought I was doing something wrong at first and asked maintenance there... hopefully more will do that so they will make it more functional

Yep, I emailed their support dept about it over a week ago and heard nothing. At first it was just annoying bc you would jump on every wait list and then jump off the ones you didn't want to stay on. Now they've made it worse. You aren't allowed to leave the waiting list for 1 table, you must leave all waiting lists. Needless to say, I haven't played cash games there in over a week now.
