Summary (6.21)
Carbon Poker
launched
in 2007
but was
named
the new
flagship
site of
the
Merge
Poker
Network.
Their
company
is owned
by the
same
company
who
launced
the
Poker.com
online
poker
brand
back in
2005.
Some of
the best
reasons
to join
this
poker
room on
their
now stop
freerolls
and 100%
up to
$200
sign up
onus.
Software and graphics (7)
Carbon Poker
uses the
software
provided
by the
Merge
Network
which
they
also
share
their
player
base
with. The graphics are nice and clear and the playability is great. The software offers, note taking, opponent coding, multi tabling, lobby music, and instant hand histories. The lobby shows key table data such as see flop percentage, average pot size, and hands per hour.
Some
advanced
features
include
the
ability
to
rabbit
hunt and
to fold
and show
one or
both
cards.
Ring game traffic (2.5)
Carbon Poker ring game traffic is quite low with only 250 or so players during
peak hours..
Tournament traffic (4)
Carbon Poker
tournament
traffic
exceeds
2000
players
during
peak
hours
but is
mostly
freeroll
and
micro
limit
players.

To bad
Carbon
poker
has such
a silly
no
rakeback
policy
because
they are
struggling
to keep
these
games
filled.
Rake (5.5)
Carbon Poker
rake policy is better than industry average and quite favorable in all
micro limits and mid level short handed games.
Soft competition (7)
Carbon Poker
has a moderate see flop percentage, but the post flop play is quite
passive. The profit window for experienced players is quite large at
Carbon Poker.
Sign up bonus (6)
Carbon Poker
offers a 100% sign up bonus up to $200 free on the first deposit.
The
bonus
requires
350 comp
points
per

increments.

cash

Loyalty bonus (7.5)
Carbon Poker offers a point system with a VIP store. To be honest though the
store and points system are really nothing special. Where the true loyalty bonus
comes in is the amazingly high value loyalty based freerolls Carbon Poker runs.
