Carbon Poker

General information

Carbonpoker.ag is a skin on the Merge Gaming Network and one of the biggest and most popular poker sites on the internet post Black Friday.  Carbon is one of the few poker sites that still accepts American players and is one of the reasons they have seen incredible growth in the past few months.  There is a large player base of both fish and regulars online at all times of day so you are sure to be able to instantly find whatever game you are looking for.  Some of the most popular games offered at Carbon Poker are Texas Hold Em, Euchre, H.O.R.S.E., Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud,7 Card Stud Hi/Lo and Badugi.

Carbon Poker bonuses

New players on Carbon Poker are eligible for a 100% deposit bonus up to $600 on their first deposit using the bonus code UPTO600.  The bonus is cleared by playing in real money cash games, tournaments and sit ‘n’ goes.  Every $1 in rake paid earns you 10 VIP points and every 75 VIP points earned releases $1 of your bonus.  There are five tiers to the Carbon VIP program, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water and Ether.  Each level requires an increasing amount of VIP points per month and gives increasing amount of rakeback that is deposited daily directly into your account.

Carbon Poker Software

The software at Carbon Poker is some of the best in the business.  While other sites are slow, difficult to use and always crashing Carbon uses a simple and easy to use design on both the main lobby and on the poker tables.  Both the lobby and the tables are resizable and easy to move, making it simple to customize your playing setup to allow for many tables to be played at once.  Carbon also offers some unique features at the tables such as Deal it Twice, allowing two all in players to deal both the turn and river cards two times to help reduce variance and Expose One Card, allowing players to only show one card when throwing their hand into the muck after folding.  Another feature only found on Carbon is the Rabbit Hunt.  After you win a hand you are allowed to see what the flop, turn or river would have been if the hand had continued.

Carbon Poker Tournaments

Carbon offers many different types of tournaments and sit ‘n’ goes at all times of day throughout the week, ensuring that you can always find a tournament or sit ‘n’ go to play in no matter when you want to play.   There are many different kinds of tournaments offered on Carbon including Freerolls, Shootouts, Satellites, Bounty Tournaments and Ladies Only events.  Every Sunday they offer a massive $100,000 guarantee No Limit Texas Hold Em tournament that always draws a big crowd and a good mix of recreational and professional players looking to play poker online.

Carbon Poker Cash Games

The cash games at Carbon Poker are some of the loosest and fishiest games on the internet, especially at the micro stakes due to the VIP program and deposit bonuses.  The most popular games are no limit Texas Hold Em with buy-ins under $100 but there is a significant community of players at the higher stakes as well.   Other popular cash games on Carbon are Omaha, limit poker and different Stud variants but they are not nearly as popular as no limit Texas Hold Em.

Carbon Poker Player Traffic

Player traffic at Carbon has considerably increased since Black Friday with an influx of American players.  There are usually at least 10,000 players online with almost double that playing during peak hours.  More and more players are joining the site every day due to generous deposit bonuses and the availability of games running around the clock. Like many online poker sites the biggest and softest player base is at the micro limits but there are a fair amount of games at the middle and high stakes limits running during prime time.
