Carbon Poker was released in early 2007 offering
players a unique perspective of online poker. The
software is provided by Merge Gaming and literally
blows the competition away with its graphics and
features that are a trademark to the Merge Group.
Carbon hosts daily tournaments and freerolls for
their player as well as their monthly freeroll
which offers a prize pool of $50,000, with coupons
awarded to players who earn the required amount
of comp points. Over recent months, Carbon Poker
expanded their ring game selection now supporting
mixed variations, as well as the new in house casino
available in the poker room.

Game Variety
The poker room is still
developing traffic and as such is mainly a low
limit holdem room. The competition is very weak
and if you’re a limit or no limit player you should be able to make a profit from
most of the games found here. Currently Carbon Poker supports Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, Seven
Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi Lo, 5 Card Draw, Razz, HORSE and 2-7 Triple Lowball. Each of these games
is available in their respective limits with Pot Limit, No Limit and Fixed Limit available. The majority
of the 2,000+ players are mainly focused on the Holdem and Omaha games. If you’re
a beginner this is a great room to learn how to
play the mixed games since the room offers ultra
low stakes in these games.
Tournaments and Freerolls
Tournaments are available around the clock with
most games available for a couple of dollars. Carbon
Poker is known for the amount of freerolls available
and the high prize pools the majority of them support.
Easily you can logon and find a freeroll starting
within a couple hours of each other. Each of the
ring games is supported in tournament format with
low buy-ins allowing beginners to be able to learn
the games without the risk. Carbon does offer seats
to live events through on site qualifiers and you
can also play in the $20K weekend tournament by
qualifying through one of the room’s qualifying
Sit and Go tournaments.
Top of the Line Software
The software is very impressive, offering high
resolution graphics with lightening fast speed.
The poker room’s signature features is what has given this room the boost in popularity. The animated emoticons
are available at the tables and activated by typing in certain keywords into the chat box like “Donkey” “Hello” etc.
There are over 30 different smilies and some that
have yet to be discovered. Other features include
the rabbit hunt, show one or two of your hole cards
and the tagging feature. This one is very neat,
allowing you to go above the traditional taking
notes on your opponents. The way the tagging feature
works is simple; tag a player and when that player
comes online again, the Carbon Poker software will
notify you similar to instant messenger that the
player is now online and you will be able to find
the table they are playing at. Above all this the
software still provides all the features we as
players look for, such as lobby and table stats,
four colour decks, multi-tabling and more.
