Carbon Poker Review

Carbon Poker… Simply as Good as it Gets

Carbon Poker was born on 2007 and it’s one of the biggest poker sites of the Merge Network.

It’s currently one of the only options for US poker players now days and definitely one with the best reputation out there. 

The Merge Poker Network is currently the No. 1 poker network for US players in regards to player traffic, which is one of the most important characteristics an online player looks for.  A site offering constant high traffic guarantees game availability and more attractive tournaments.

For several years, Carbon poker has been considered a “Fishier” site when compared to Full Tilt Poker or Pokerstars, when they offered poker to the US.  Some believe the main reason for this was simply that FT and PS invested heavily in marketing therefore were more attracted by experienced players than sites on the Merge Network.

One advantage for the skilled players is that Carbon shares its players’ database with other sites which main focus is not poker but sports or casino.  This means that you will be playing with tons of sports, casino fans which are definitely less experienced players than the grinders you might find at other networks.

The ring game action of Carbon has increased hugely over the last months after the three major poker networks were banned from the US.  Games such as Omaha and Stud don’t run that often but overall is easy to find action in all game variations at all types of stakes.

Sit n go players will find lots of options and attractive unique tournaments that are only available on Carbon Poker. Multi-table sit n go’s are not their strength but there is a clear constant growth on their sit n go activity which refelcts in constant updates and new tournaments appearing regularly on their lobby.

MTT players will be satisfied with their tournament offering.  Throughout the day it’s easy to find attractive guarantees which overlay from time to time and the buy-in selection is quite extended to satisfy all types of players.  The biggest tournament runs on Sundays and it’s a $100,000 Guaranteed with a 100+9 buy-in.

The site offers a very generous VIP program; it works pretty much as all the others out there in the industry.  As you generate rake, you achieve points which determine your VIP level and allows
you different benefits such as: points for cash exchange, tournament buy-ins, special promotions or buying articles from the VIP store.

In regards to deposit and withdrawal methods, Carbon has been known for little to no complaints in regards of payment of winnings to players.  All major known deposit methods are offered.

Carbon is an excellent option for the US or non-american player who is looking for action, great promotions, decent tournament structures and professional customer service from a website which has shown nothing but good work ethics across their years in the market.
