Got free money on Carbon

I set up an account at Carbon Poker last year but never played on it much after I played for a while with whatever introductory offer it had. Today I got an email saying they were giving me a $5 bonus to encourage me back and in the conditions it says there is no rakeback or rollover requirement. Happy days! Also when I logged into my account I saw there was $9 there I had forgotten about, so I have a little bit to play with on Carbon. I usually play $1,50 fifty50 games on pokerstars. Can anyone recommend a good game on Carbon for me?

Also, how are they for processing withdrawals?

I would suggest any of their $1 MTT'S the gtd's usually have a decent structure. and YES their checks take about 2-6weeks depending on your history.

I like the sit n gos double up, you could buy in for as little 1.10 all the way up. 10 people, all you have to do is make it in the top 5 and you double up.

I agree - I have done well in the $1 scheduled rebuy tournaments. Usually you can find a lot of players who are willing to double your stack on some pretty marginal pushes

Same here, I managed to take the free money from $5 to $15 in a week, then the next week I went from $15 back to $0.

Last week I cashed in the CardsChat freeroll on Carbon for $9.40 and that's now up to $15 again.

That's encouraging . . . I think! Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I usually do play the DON type SNGs but maybe I should take this as an opportunity to branch out and try MTTs. That will take some loosening up though. I often do make it to the money in freerolls but rarely anywhere close to a final table.

I play the NLHE tables that pay 3 places in the 10 player of 2 places in the 6 player games.

I like the $1 rebuy add on , I think its $600 gtd. turbo, plays fast,lot of action in the rebuy part of the tourney, and the add on is 5k more in chips,and the whold tourney goes fairly fast with 5 minute levels, that's at carbon poker

Haven't tried the MTTs yet. Played 3 DONs though, winning money in two of them. In my third DON I had 11bb left and decided to shove with K4s. Everyone was very tight and i would have been happy with the blinds. Got called by KK and JJ and won with a flush. This sparked off some discussion in the chat so everyone thinks I work for carbon now ☺
