carbon or ipoker

So I've decided I want to deposit on either carbon or ipoker. What do you guys suggest?
I would be mainly playing low stakes cash games with the odd tourney. What are your experiences with both networks when it comes to players/support/cash out times or bonuses.

iPoker is a network, so each site can be different in terms of its support, If you play enough to clear bonuses, it's worth looking at what different offers are available. As for the level of play, I've never noticed a consistent, meaningful difference between Carbon and the ipoker sites.

I decided to deposit on carbon. Does anyone know if I can use PT or holdem manager there?

You can, I use PT.

I'd probably suggest carbon, simply because their client has a nice layout, except bad beats happen quite often, or it could just be me : O

Holdem Manager works on other merge sites so i expect it works on Carbon although I've never tried it there.

So have you deposited and played on Carbon yet? I'm thinking about trying out this site as well. How has your experience been?

Can you please provide proof of this? No offense but often times, new members will post something very similar to this and the end result is that they have left out some key details such as either they or their friends have not been aboveboard. Many people on Cardschat play on mutiple Merge skins and I assure that as long as you are not doing anything against their Terms of Service, you will not have a problem. I personally have played on Carbon for approximately 5 years and have NEVER had once issue. Please feel free to substantiate your claims but dont ask people here to take your word for it. Ty for understanding and welcome to Cardschat!

Ok..How many E-mails DO you want?

Can Send You all the e-mails associated with CARBON,MERGE,And the DOJ,So How Many You Want ?They never gave me a reason for suspending my account,Money dissapeared.

This situation seems to be specific to you - so yea we want to see ALL of the email correspondence before we will give you any credit at all.

Never heard of this happening to any innocent person at a Merge site.

I play on carbon poker, and I think that its a great site to deposit on. The players on low stakes are relatively easy to make money off of, as they play almost any two cards lol. I hear the cashout fast too, although haven't done one myself.

I've been playing on Merge for the last month or 6 weeks (at RPM Poker) and so far I've had no problems with them.

No, no. He has a thread for already that he needs to post in instead. Don't clutter up regd's thread.

I have been playing on lockl for like 3 months... i love it! Im about to deposit 500 bills and as far as i have researched your the only bad thing ever said about this Site??? You must have done something against guidlines...

Tony - stop spamming that crap.

Admit you multi accounted and merge caught you out. They don't just randomly ban people without suspicion. No one else has has this trouble. You're just bitter and now want to tar their good name.

It's just funny how they "stopped" your account out of everyones..

By the way, maybe you was banned because you got your names mixed up or maybe you just like being known as tony on here and jimmy in your emails.


Oh - I might want to add I myself have just deposited at merge network, not been banned yet, going to brace myself though for it.
