Carbon Poker Bonus Code Review

Traffic

Carbon Poker remains a relatively small online poker room compared with its peers, but its traffic has nevertheless been steadily rising over time, with an approximate 8,000 players competing online currently during peak times. Almost all of the traffic is designated to the Texas Hold’em tables, though there is periodic action at the Omaha in other poker games.

Competition

The level of skill at Carbon Poker is pretty weak as compared against that at other, larger sites. It isn’t too hard to find players poorer than oneself here. That’s because this is mostly a poker site where rookies and players with smaller stacks come to build their bankrolls at the freeroll tournaments. Of course, the downside to playing against too many weak players is that they rarely make anything resembling logical decisions when determining what actions to take, and can therefore be sometimes more misleadingly unpredictable than their poker savvy peers.

Freerolls

Of the poker sites, CarbonPoker offers a disproportionately large number of freeroll tournaments, which seems to be one of the site’s biggest draws for players, and a lot of newbies and old-timers alike can be found in the Carbon Poker freeroll tournament tables. Among Carbon Poker’s regular freeroll tourneys are $500 New Depositor Freerolls, Daily $50 Freerolls every 5 hours, Daily $1,000 Freerolls Monday through Friday, and many freerolls designed as part of Carbon Poker’s VIP player loyalty program, including $2,000, $10,000, and $50,000 guaranteed freeroll tournaments.

Tournaments

As much as Carbon Poker excels in freeroll tournaments, it falters behind in the way of big buy-in, high-stakes, big rewards tournaments and promotions as compared with other poker sites. A great site to milk dry the bankrolls of weaker players at the ring game tables, Carbon Poker is not necessarily the best site to win your way into to cashing in big in big money live online and land-based tournament winnings. Keeping that in mind, however, Carbon Poker does have its fair share of live seat satellites, as well as bounty tournaments, guaranteed tournaments, Sit ‘n Go tourneys, and Ladies Only tournaments.

Software

If parts of Carbon Poker look familiar its because its the reanimated (figuratively speaking) reincarnation of Poker. The CarbonPoker software is a proprietary, in-house software that offers an immense variety of poker games to choose from, with Limit and Pot Limit cash ring games in Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-Card Stud, 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo, Razz, 5-Card Stud, 5-Card Draw, Triple Draw, Ace-to-5 Lowball, Deuce to 7 Lowball, and Badugi (there’s even Blackjack, Roulette, Backgammon, Caribbean Stud, and Video Poker). The only No Limit cash ring games available at Carbon Poker are in Texas Holdem and Omaha (Hi). As it is a fully Flash-based program (yes – even the downloadable version), the look and feel of the games are not up to par with that of many of the larger rooms, but they’re at least still eye-appealing. The interface is incredibly simple to navigate, and both the lobby and tables provide ample filters, stats, and other useful functions you’ve grown accustomed to expecting from a halfway decent poker site.
