I play mostly at carbon poker because they accept my bank card. Superstars is so big n the free rolls r almost a joke. But there r not many free rolls on carbon.
No on the points. They just use those to track your deposit bonus and unless u cash out over 100 bucks it's pointless. I put 25 in and my roll is at 60 hoping to make over the 100 threshold
Carbon poker for me because I don't free roll much at all. Takes hours to win chump change

I play in FTP and Pokerstars but in general i prefer PS at all times because i like to mix up my game and Ps offers many variety of games like Razz,2-7,Stud HORSE and many more.I think playing different variety of games gives you more viewpoints of poker at all and to me this means improvement...
Outside of the US it is OBVIOUSLY Pokerstars for anyone remotely interested in MTTs/SNGs....their volume is insane and GTDs are high.
Merge (Carbon) has the best software and rivals Bovada for best donkaments, but with ID's so you can actually track your hands and review HH's, etc....learn to USE a HUD.
I like Carbon (skin of Merge)...while it's true there isn't much bonus/rakeback anymore, the games are still decent and the MTT schedule is excellent....plus, again, you can have actual hand histories that are useful when reviewing and trying to improve.
Oh, and cashouts are free (up to some amount per month, but really....ya) and come right to your door after verifying-which is easy as heck.
My last one was a few weeks, no muss, no fuss.
Carbon is numero uno en my opinion....
If you play MTTs at all....Carbon or Bovada are you only real options in the US.

BetOnline has a fairly loose player pool, but the software is fairly simple. There's no way to customize your table with bet sizing tabs, player colors, or any other options. Just a slider and a few rudimentary betting options. And other than iholdem and holdem indicator, tracker software won't work. I like playing there, but I'd prefer to have my HUD and stats, and be able to customize my play for long term comfort and convenience...
I haven't tried in other places but , for now, I keep playing in Pokerstars, I like the software and it's easy to find the tournaments and any kind of table to play cash or zoom.
I also have an account on fultilt but , for what I've seen know, there are much less freerolls there and I'm lost when I have to find a tournament or a table and the players are slow for my taste.
What do you guys think about other softwares? any recomendation?

CarbonPoker is it for me Their sit n gos fill up quickly and tournaments have a good amount of entrants. They also have a good Casino with a good selection of games. and my favorite thing is that I can also bet on sports all from the same account.
