Carbon is the only site that I can play on at the moment. I like it, it's fine, and I don't mind the slow cash outs. So, we can skip all of that.

Anyway, I'd like to start of list of people who play on there and maybe start a CC cash game or SNG every now and then. I think it would be fun to play and chat with other members on this site.

I could record the games as well.

Anyway, we'll see how it goes. I know not a lot people play on Carbon, but hoping a few do.

Why is it the ONLY one you can play on?? Bovada and ACR should also be available to you unless you live in a specific state that criminalizes it.

I play on Carbon, for the most part their cashouts these days are very reasonable. Bitcoin withdrawals usually only take a couple days. Checks I believe are now down to 3 weeks, of course could be better, but not terrible.

I'm currently only able to use a chromebook. Too poor to buy at better laptop at the moment, but hopefully I can once I get my withdrawal from Carbon. I'd really like to give ACR a try and maybe grind out the micro cash games.

Anyway, I can't DL any poker clients on my chromebook and only use Carbon's instant play feature.

WPN cash games your lucky to find players over 30vpip, every player on there is for the beast. Many have said cash games tougher than Stars.

I have an account on there but they confiscated my bankroll because I didn't log in for a couple of years! They used to be one of my favorites, though.

Yeah, it says so in the User Agreement when you first sign up. This has happened to me at several sites, actually. What can I say, I have a lot of different hobbies and forget about some of them for awhile and then come back to them later.

Carbon got real slow on payouts, so I stopped playing there about 6 months ago. Used to be a fun site, but cash tables kinda dried up.

Yeah. Cash tables are pretty dead and it sucks that it starts at 10nl.

I'm looking forward to making the transition to cash games once I get my payout check and a new laptop. Will be great playing on other sites, grinding 2nl, and actually being able to use a HUD.

The wait is killer, though.

cant figure why the cash games are so slow on Carbon, they are sharing players with Black Chip and everything. Especially since all the cash games on ACR bleed extra rake to the beast which only the most prolific players will ever see. ACR has 27% Rakeback though.

I thought BlackChip and ACR are together on the Winning Poker Network, while Carbon is a Merge site.

The Beast is included in ACR rake, its not extra.

Carbon poker NL rake is higher than ACR's. (5.56% vs 5%)

Yes, the cash games on Carbon rake, but the difference, is 45 out of 50 players are BEAST grinders, and on Carbon, well if you can't beat those games, you can't beat anywhere.
