Carbon Poker rocks

Some restrictions

Yes Carbon Poker Does allow players for the United States. They do not have ban restrictions on any country.

Umm I know that they dont allow Australia and Singapore..But they are US and Euro friendly.. I really like almost all the merge sites...better combined than those on Microgammings sites and the anaimations are awesome and funny!

Why not play in the 1500 or 2500 GTD tourneys (Freeze out) ...Better pay and worser play and big BR boost

The players in these are really, really, bad, so you need to be prepared for suckouts, but I agree.

There's a $5 buyin with $500 added on Carbon today, along with $100 & $109 bounty for KO'ing Shannon Elizabeth.
I think it's at 19:00 Carbon time... which is 20:00 est (< I think?)

The $1500 & $2500 guar.... what's the buyin for these & at what time do they run? (& tks for the warning re: really bad play)

They actually run all day long but varies on the buy-in/Rebuy/Freeze-outs...I mean there's ones that happen at 20:00 Carbon times, that are $3.30, and then there are ones that happen at like 1/2/3/4 that are freeze-outs, and rebuys...So It really depends on which one you get into...Hope that helps


Hope this helps btw, these are the up-coming games, I'm registered for, and some are Re-buys while others aren't...Btw the 5k, is ****ing Ultra-Soft only reason I play in it, it's above the BR, but I mean seriously ppl just suck ...

 

[naruto_miu]

One more thing, if your looking for a really soft game, there's 12.5K GTD Happening Tomorrow, I forget the time, but it's also $30 buy-in and, the field is pretty thin in it also

I've never deposited on Carbon but will probably have to in order to transfer &/or withdrawl. I've got a few bucks on there now but have hardly ever played on the site. It still just feels like Monopoly money to me.. on that site. idk.. not really into it. (I haven't played many of the reg. games on there, or any ring games... just a few priv. tourneys)

Btw You don't have to Deposit in-order to cash-out just so you...But it's better if you do because of many reason (I never deposited on Carbon as you know)...Yet the reasons are this, one Faster Cash-outs (I say faster because there support team told me it's one way to Identify a person, so that's why its actually better... 2) It enables a person to chat/type to Friends on different tables (If you don't deposit then you can only type/chat on your 1 table or as many tables as you are playing in, but if you do deposit then you can freely roam and chat as you plz)...3) You can transfer money to friends, but if you don't deposit then you can't transfer to friends at all, which sucks...

Yah, if I could transfer, I would've transferred all of it by now (not just to friends... but to anyone willing).
Maybe it's a good thing I haven't... & will take a shot at playing in a handful of these. Thanks for posting the screenshot of the lobby... will play the $3rebuy for sure for starters.

Np, Just curious why would you be willing to transfer to anyone, lol..

 

[17Fabrizio17]

Just a simple deduction, competition on Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker should be tougher because it is where there is more money around and are scheduled the tournaments with the largest prizepools.

I am running bad now. This dude chases a 4 out gutshot straight and ends up hitting runner runner flush on me.

Then I hit middle set with 66 on a 568 board. I bet pot size. Four! people called, and a 4 hits on the turn. Big bet from someone and I had to fold.

Then this dude calls me all in preflop with J9. I had AK suited diamonds. He spikes a J on the flop but there were two diamonds. But I, of course, couldn't hit one of my 15 outs.

Down 2 buyins already. Couldn't have played any differently. Sick stuff.

 

[naruto_miu]

One thing carbon sucks for is HH (Hand Histories)...I want some of my play evaluated, and there HH don't come in text form....So I mean that ****ing sucks Ass

 

[blueskies]

I ended up winning around a quarter for the day LOL.

Could have had a great day actually. I was a river card away from more than tripling up.

This maniac shoved from UTG. I had JJ and immediately reraised all in to try to squeeze the rest out. But then the two fairly solid players both called at CO and BTN and I was like goddam. The blinds both folded.

Maniac had 75 suited. The two others had AK and AQ which is as good as I could have hoped for given their calling range. The board was 10 10 8 5 no flush draws. I was one card away from winning. Then the stupid ace of spade slams down on the river. Even if that maniac won, I would have beaten the other two and came out positive on that hand.

Still, I can take solace in that I made no mistake today. Should have won a lot if I had luck on my side.

 

[naruto_miu]

For the day for me I have

1) 1st place for 300
1) 3rd place for 120 or so
1) 5th place for another 120 or so

I finally cracked through the $48 profit mark at cash games, only to
drop right back the next day.

AQ once, AK twice. Killed by 53, A3, and AQ. Didn’t lose big the first
two times but the whole stack went in on the flop with an ace on the
third hand. The other dude flips over AQ two pairs.

Another hand I laid down AK against an all in shove. It was my first
hand on the table, no read. CO raised, then BTN came over the top all
in. I folded. CO called with QQ. BTN only had K9. Yet he won… hit both
K and 9. Had I called, I would have lost.

Another hand I had AQ suited, but I folded preflop against a big
raise. He had QQ.

So I could have lost 5 times with AK/AQ.
