Carbon Poker Review

Carbon Poker is a relatively new poker room, one of the few still accepting US players. The room supports all traditional games including mixed ones (Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, Stud, Stud Hi Lo, 5 Card Draw, Razz, HORSE, and 2-7 Triple Lowball – al of them available in their respective limits including Pot Limit, No Limit and Fixed Limit with stakes running as low as $0.02/$0.04 and increasing up to $50/$100) with an in house casino.

We cannot but mention Carbon’s fast payouts, supersized freerolls, loose games found at the Holdem tables and 60%of players who view the flop. Loose competition in all areas, relatively slow traffic make it rather easy to gain profit from the games. During the peak hours a total of 2,000 players can be found online, and as a result the spread does not normally extend above the $3/$6 limit. The room takes 5% rake from each pot with a cap set at $3 per hand.

Having relatively low buy-ins, Carbon Poker is very good for the beginners learning to play, e.g. Razz and HORSE. The $10,000 and $20,000 GP with satellites available daily and Sit and Got tournaments make up the weekend line up. To enter the games, you can buy in directly or win your seat playing sit and go tournaments. With low traffic, Carbon Poker has lots of overlays or value tournaments. Loyal players can take part in large freerolls held daily. Having earned the required amount of points, players get the entry ticket and take part in them.

Having one of the best software in the industry, Carbon features high resolution graphics, note taking abilities with the room performing the search (if a player has been tagged, the system will automatically track him and alert you as soon as he/she is online and what table he/she is playing at), simple navigation with filter application, multitabling (though the room does not offer the resizing tool yet), supported at the table and the lobby stats (to note: to get hand history stats from Carbon, players have to opt in, otherwise your hand histories will be deleted upon logging out of the room).

Carbon Poker offers fast support through email and live chat (within a couple of minutes in the latter one).

Players can choose one of the following payment methods: VISA, MasterCard, NETeller, FirePay, Western Union, bank draft, cashier’s check, money order, check.
